This is my first post here, just stopping in to introduce myself. My name is Jared I am from Erie Pennsylvania. I am an avid walleye and king salmon fisherman, on lake Erie and lake Ontario. The reason for my lurking on your site is I am considering purchasing a large center console boat, and I am shopping for a place for it to call home. I currently own asport craft hard top set up for great lakes trolling. I lived in Florida for a while and got hooked on deep ocean fishing. Iam considering NJ because of the under 8 hour drive for me and from what I have seen so far, good variety of fish species. If anyone here has any advice, comments, or concerns I'm all ears.

Sounds like you might have a good selection of boat for NJ waters already. Where and what do you plan on fishing for? The AC boat show is this week.

Ideally I would like to fish once a month. I have never fished off of jersey and have been scouring the web looking for information. If anybody is interested in swapping hunts so to speak I would love to make it offshore and would be more than generous in the fuel bill. I have to offer great lakes fishing and phenomenal white tail or turkey hunting.

As far as already having a good boat for nj waters. My sportcraft lacks the fuel capacity to make the canyon runs I so desire. LOL. That and the spleen to outrun upcoming weather. The boats I am looking at are an Everglades 290 pilot with twin Honda 225s and a Sea Fox 287 pro series with twin Suzuki four stroke 250s , the 100k price diference has me thinking sea fox, no wood, unsinkable hull, lifetime hull warranty and a nice dry ride I'm not sure I can justify the top of the line everglades. But damn they are a nice machine.

Everglades are very well built but very expensive. t^

Maybe some of you "locals" can give me some advise, another idea I have been kicking around is rather than docking the boat, I would like to find a small tract of rural land, say within 30 to 40 minutes of the coast to build a large garage with an apartment on top. Store the boat and avoid hotels. Trailering shouldn't be a problem with a 28 cc but I wouldn't want to bring it all the way from home every time. Any advice on good areas, cheap land? Don't need much but rural enough to not have it be a Huge deal if the lawn only gets mowed once a month. A garage in the woods is kinda the end goal.

Cheap land in NJ fngr and if your only planning on fishing 1 a month, why not jump on a charter 5hrug

There's too much to be said for doing it on your own. I make some of my own rods, lures, and if I had the aptitude I'd build the damn boat LOL..... When I say cheap I mean relative to oceanfront. I would expect to pay 20 to 25 an acre for.unimproved land in a small (less than 3 acres) lot. But land is an investment. And I own a construction company so building can be done relativly affordably.

Well now may be your chance after the recent storm im sure there are some lots available.

There are always people looking for people for additional crew. Some are the sponosrs some are the members. I regularly look for people however, my boat is not a cannyon machine.

I love everything about fishing and always up to learn new things from more experienced fishermen and always up for any trip if I am available!! That's if I am invited ;D
