Where to go crabbing and fishing in Atlantic County
« on: July 09, 2008, 01:52:36 PM »

Hi everyone. I have just started fishing and crabbing a few weeks ago. I love it. However, I am not catching anything that I can keep. My lack of a catch was initially blamed on the fact that I am a novice to fishing. However, I started to notice that the people around me weren't catching anything either. I need to know where I can go in Atlantic County to get some nice sized blue crabs and fish that I can bring home and eat. I don't have a boat and I usually have my little ones with me. So the place needs to be a pier or dock of some sort (kid friendly). Also I need to make sure I'm using the right bait for the fish I usually use blood worms and squid and for the crabs I use chicken backs. I've been to Faunce Landings and the Gardener's Basin. I haven't gotten any luck after being at these places for hours. Please Help

First Welcome Aboard Erika Smalls,

You have come to the right place to have your questions answered.  There are a number of guys that fish down in your neck of the woods.  I am sure that they will be along shortly.  Just be patient as many work at night and sleep during the day.

In the mean time brows around by clicking on the link and if that does not help like I said the guys will be around shortly.

Happy Catching
