Re: Highlands or Shark River?
Shark River: Close to your house. Great access to the ocean and ocean fishing. Good for late season striped bass, bluefish. Close to the Mud Hole and several artificial reefs. Close to fishing places you already know. Low water in the back. Bridge traffic. Later start to striped bass season. Almost exclusively ocean fishing.
Sea Bright: Close to home. River traffic. Better access to early season stripers. More fuel docks. More access to river and bay fishing. Long ride to the ocean, Mud Hole, sharks and tuna. Good crabbing access.
Highlands/Atlantic Highlands: Longer ride to the boat. Afternoon beach, bridge and highway traffic. Closer to Raritan Bay, Staten Island, Hudson River. Traditional early season striped bass/bluefish spot.
Do you want to fish the ocean or bay most? Think about YOUR time. How far do you want to drive your car and your boat? How about cost? Security? Maintenance services? Fuel cost per trip?
Shark River: More ocean fishing with less time getting there.
Highlands: More river/bay fishing and less time getting there by boat.
SeaBright: Closer to river fishing options. Longer ride to the ocean and Raritan Bay.
