Hey guys. Im trying to expand my surf spots. Im really trying to cut corners and not scout out some spots so i dont waste valuable time. Does anyone have general areas north of the hook that are quality well known locations to fish. I fish Cliffwood, Perth amboy and Union Beach and need a few more spots. Any well known jetties in that general area? I would like to fish off the beach, cliffwood off the rocks can be tough at times. I already broke a rod there.
I just bought a St Croix 8.6ft 8-17lb med casting rod married to an Abu 6500c3 spooled with 20# PP. Do i need to go heavier? For Cliffwood i know i would need a beefier rod to lift a fish up those rocks, i learned that the hard way
