I'm Italian, so yeah, its gravy...

I lived down there for 9 years[Forked River] and am pretty familiar with the area. Thats a crabbing area really.. If you are fishing from shore later on in August into Sept, you might get some small snapper blues or , a small weakfish or a stray eel if you fish at night... Shore fishing?.. Personally, i wouldn't even take the rods...
If you are in a boat and get close to the channels you might get a few blowfish or Spot, perhaps a Kingfish.. However, you might have to chum to draw them in.. There are fluke there, but that part of the bay is shallow, featureless, sand bottom and the fluke fishing is not that good.. If you can get further north near the Toms River/Seaside bridge, or further south closer to the inlet, you will have much better fishing especially near the channels.. Maybe someone has had great luck fishing that part of the bay, but I never saw it... In those sand/mud flats, its mostly crabs, killies, spearing,clams, and a an eel here and there.. When we lived there I went north or south and fished Raritan Bay and a few times a year would change it up and launch in Great Bay.. The bayville area has crabs... Things may have changed, so I will defer to others, but when I was there , I fished elsewhere. Nothing to catch off the shore in that area..bob
