Welcome Aboard mrshibbles,
You are close to a number of good fishing areas accessible by foot. First do you know your way around the area. For instance if I mentioned 7 Bridges Road (Great Bay Boulevard) in Tuckerton would you know where I was talking about?
That area has a number of good fishing creeks this time of year now that the bugs are almost non existent. It is all salt water and easy access.
If you make a right at Radio Road and go all the way to the end you will come to one of the best Spring time fishing spots for early striped bass around, Graveling Point.
If you take E. Bay Ave in Barnegat and go out a mile or so you will come across a big parking area on your right with a board walk suitable for fishing and or crabbing.
I am sure the guys down your way will jump in soon and give you a few more spots to start.
Good Luck
Happy Catching
Paul
