Read through this post the other day, and since it's still getting some hits I thought I would throw my hat in the mix. I reside in Ocean County, Brick spcifically. Most of my fishing is very local, though I do try to get on new waters when I can. I've got a 12' jon boat which I choose to row at this point. Workin' on the trailer to get it roadworthy and gotta get a hitch for the car, then I'll mess with the trolling motor and battery. So for now it's mostly shoreline fishing. I love to target bass, but I'm an opporunistic angler and will entertain myself with whatever I find or can learn from. Anyway, hello and good luck.
