Thinking about doing a trip to the Manasquan for some sea run brown fishing sometime after November 8th when I get back from Pulaski. I have a secret weapon to get them lol. Anyone down for trying to coordinate a trip? I know a lot about sea runs but not a lot about the river its self.

Used to fish there all the time when i was young and handsome but i'd be interested in a possible trip back down there as well.

Just make sure you go within 3 days after a decent rain or you are probably wasting your time.

my bounty offer still stands:
$10 for any regular NJF member who legally catches a sea run brown, reports the catch to NJ DFW and posts a picture on here with where and how

Did you ever get to the Squan? I am very curious as to anyone fishing in the Manasquan this winter. I live on the river and have fished it over 30 trips this winter. I caught one chub. I am going to start a thread, but was curious with your post. I fished from West Farms all the way to Ramshorn Dr. boat launch in the brackish water. Day, night, snow, sun, rain, worms, powerbait, mealworms, rapalla's, spinners, NOTHING. I caught 6 fish in 2 hours with my 8yr old nephew the weekend before the stocking. Did the stocking effect the fish in the river??? Did the work on the Parkway affect the fish??? Can't see it as the cold. The river didn't even freeze over like in 2010. See my photos.

BTW: I am always available to fish the Squan.

Hey man I abandoned the Squan trip this year as I had open heart surgery and stuck to some browns closer to home. I live up in central/north jersey and I have some great ideas for going after them this year but I need some eyes and ears on the river to figure out the right time. If youre interested PM me and I would love to get down there this year and hunt those bad boys down w you.
