Re: Manasquan River Rudderfish On the Fly
This is the time of the year when almost any warmwater fish will show up near the coast and in the estuaries. Pull a seining net in the Manasquan and see what you catch. This board will light up with fish ID questions. If this storm surge ever settles down, don't be surprised at the different gamefish that might show up in and around the Mud Hole and even inshore of that.
Over the years, many warmwater or tropical fish have been caught close to the NJ beaches. Way back when, Fred Coles caught a tarpon off SeaBright. Check the charts for the tarpon lump. Cobia have already been caught this year. I have a friend who caught a blue runner off Sandy Hook. Imagine if the water in the river would ever get clear!
