There are 2 free ramps in the canal area that might interest you. One is at the Marine police which is located just south of the Bridge Ave bridge. The other is at the end of Bay Ave in Bay Head. Both have limitations in parking and overall conditions. Take a look yourself. There is good fluking in the bay near the bay side of the canal and back along the 2 access channels. There is also a ramp near the Mantoloking Bridge that is perfect for crabbing in the bay. It's in the new Brick Twsp park . Fees are posted but I believe it's $20/day for residents of Brick. More for non-resident. Enjoy
