Nice job!  It is hot out there, even at 1145, I bet.  Crazy , the NY Season is closed already.

Ranger, there are a few piers up in Monmouth County you can try:

NJ Pier Locations

There are also some places along the Raritan that you can fish on the shore.  Some of the Monmouth County Sharpies will chime in and let you know...I have heard several places, but have no experience with them, so I will let them tell you about them.
