I grew up on Shark River, first in the rental skiffs and then a square-back canoe with an electric motor. My dad would drop me off on his way to work, come back 10 hours later...nowadays if you see a 10yo kid by himself, no PFD, you'd call the coast guard! I know I would lol

Tons of life in that river back then, and I'm glad to hear it continues. I've yet to drop my kayak in there, definitely gets a little crazy on the weekends, esp when the weather gets iffy outside you'll get big boats drifting next to rental skiffs.
