Looking for any help and/or tips I can get for the area. My buddy and I are going to be fishing the area this year. We have always fished either up north Sandy Hook Raritan bay or south Capemay Delaware bay. This year trying central Jersey. Got a Seasonal site for the camper at Timberline for the wives and kids and a slip at Shelter Cove for us to fish out of. Any advise/or spots would be helpful. Blues, striper, flounder, drum we're not picky if it will make a line tight we'll fish for it. Thanks

I live in the Mystic Island section of Little Egg. Watch those channel markers once your out of Tuckerton Creek and making your way South to the Inlet. SHALLOW water every where. As Rod said, Little Egg Reef is fairly close and Garden State South not too far either. You can just about walk across Great Bay in most parts, but there is some good flukin around the Stink House. Ya just gotta fish differently than the deep waters of the Hook. If you want a cool place to drink a few cold ones and get some good grub, chrz, make your way to the west side of Great Bay and look for Mott's Creek TT^. Plenty of water to get in but dockage is limited, specially on weekends. My favorite for sure. Also there's a nice place inside Viking Yachting Center called Breeze's, off the Mullica River just a bit more to the North. There is a sandbar thats gettin real popular in front of the Fish Factory at Low Tide for hangin out at too. Anf if you have a boat/motor problem, I'm just a phone call away. E-mail or call if ya need more info.

stripers and drum in grassy channel, watch how you get to it, surrounded by low spots
early stripers off graveling point
early fluking around the stink house, and the icw. sheepshead creek will also hold some fluke in the deeper spots. been awhile, but i believe i found 20-30 foot holes in it.
little egg reef 5 miles out the inlet.
fluking once it warms up around the research bouy's, they're basically 2-3 miles east of inlet, little north.
choose your path out the inlet with care. just on the north side of the channel are sand bars, usually with breaking waves. there was a cut to go north, choose your path wisely.
pretty much the whole area is loaded with sand bars, and shallow spots,, tread with care any where around the great bay. until you know the area, don't be following some yahoo ripping where ever.
oh, and stock up on the off,, green head capital there.
