If in search of blue claws avoid the Shark River...pretty much void of them. Maybe consider hitting up a boat rental in the Barnegat Bay. Dock Outfitters just over the 37 bridge has them. Red Bank area is likely good too but I don't crab over there. I've never used them but they seem good. I usually just go to the 5th Ave pier in Seaside and use handlines with chicken thighs and usually out-crab the folks using bunker/cages and nets. Although I have not gotten there yet this year the reports have been pretty good lately. Good luck!
