New Member looking for advice

[Diallie]

I am a new member.  I am a 53 year old female who fished with her father years ago.  I am now going through my "bucket" list and really want to go fishing again.  Bay fishing in Avalon would be a great start, but I don't know what to buy, or where to go.  I'd like to find a guide for a couple of fishing lessons.  Anyone have any suggestions?

We have a few members in that area that can lead you in the right direction. Stick around and someone will chime in soon.
  A party boat or private charter with some friends might be a good start.

I think your best bet is to either Charter a Boat or look for an Open Boat Charter.  They will have all of the tackle, bait and rods needed to fish.  That way you will get an idea of how they are fishing and can go from there.  You will learn a lot when going out.

Good Luck!

I will look for some charters and start at that point. My fisherman brother from Florida is putting together a "fishing starter package" for me and shipping it.  I can't wait now!!!

First, welcome to the site. We do have people who fish that area. Hopefully they will chime in.

You may want to stop by some of the local Bait & Tackle shops and talk to the peeps there. They usually give good advise on where to fish and would be in the know of the charter/party boats to go with.

Good luck in your quest and don't forget to take pics of your catch. Looking forward to some good reports.

Hello,

I am speaking of my own experiencing I would check out the Fish N Fun or the Duke of Fluke Pontoon boats they sail the back bay behind Margate, the trip is 4 hours it is a lighter atmosphere than diehards on the big party boats and the mates will help you with any questions. If you want to go on your own charter I used the Jersey Cape Guide Service out of Sea Isle and they were top notch.

Regards,

Chris
