Title: where to kayak fish nj
Post by: jbrown on May 18, 2015, 06:19:40 PM

I have a 23ft CC I take out of liberty state park once a week..
I bought a old town predator 13ft about a month ago and have been fresh water fishing with it and would love to try some saltwater fishing with it.
 I live by the woodbury commons in ny and am looking for the closest place to lanch my yak and do some saltwater fishing.
                              Thanks John

If your going to make the trek to jersey,
look at belford & Leonardo both spots are on one side or the other of earl naval base.

you can also fish back more into the reach like keyport, keansburg, union beach, Laurance Harbor.

down load Google Earth best free tool to fiind places to launch from FREE

I don't know that area but the best part of kayak fishing is you don't need a facility to launch a kayak. If you can pull off to the side of the road near water you can usualy drag the kayak to the water. When windy or when wind is predicted take a look at a map and think about where it will be calm on that map and where it will be rough and choose your spots accordingly.
