Re: Highlands or Shark River?
It depends on what you fish for and what months you will be fishing.. April through June, , IMHO its Raritan Bay.. Stripers will start there first, and it stays good until it starts to get too warm for good daytime fishing for them.
Fluke are often thick as hell in the bay and very active early in the season, while the ocean fishing stays slow due to cold water,, So again, for early season fluke, IMHO, the choice would be Raritan Bay. Blues start showing in the bay in late April early may, and you have good fishing for them, while they are more sporadic in the ocean..
However, for April Blackfish IMHO Shark River would be your best bet.. Same with the 3 week May/June Sea Bass "season".
July/August/Sept, when the water is warm in the bay, and a lot of the big fluke have been mopped up, or are starting to move out, you are better off hitting the rough bottom from Sea Bright to Asbury Park so IMHO Shark River or MI would be best at those times.. Look ANY of those ports would be great, and personally I am envious that you have those choices... bob
