this is the Dutchman's we spoke of If this pic isn't real clear Google earth 2500 east bay ave manahawkin NJ 08050

To the far left is causeway boat rentals this where I keep my boat

Pete if your coming into the Dutchman's from the north keep all the way to your port side its deep water all the way in not sure how deep but even on the lowest tide Ive never had a problem (only locals really know this as we watch the weekend warriors run aground all the time running down the middle.

So that Mr Krinkle can make another late-night get-away!!...LOL!!...:sand:

For fluke you want either double creek channel towards the lighthouse but that gets hairy on weekends. BB or BI bout area just south of tices, oyster creek channel or you need to go behind beach haven to the middle grounds, the old stink house or the holgate inlet.

Let's do it now, mine is all waxed n ready to get dirty. New bilge pump is holding me back..

Between Lumber and Pete Mr. Krinkle will know his way around.:clap:

That whole area of the bay is beautiful, the most memorable day on the water ever for me was there in the bay north of the Tices area while my friend Rich and our other friend jack were heading home on Rich's Grady due to a thunder storm that came up on us while outside the inlet fishing.
All of a sudden we came into a break in the storm, the sun busted thru with the most beautiful rays that struck the water in fromt of us, the lit up water sparkled and the bait fish were jumping clear out of the water. We looked at each other and turned into it, drifting thru multiple times with top water action like I have never had in my life on mid size blues(the good eating size) all on light tackle. Then while having this most incredible view and fishing all of a sudden right alongside us appeared a double rainbow of the strongest intensity I have ever seen, it looked like you could grab it and climb to the sky.
Now you had three full grown men that have seen some in life, just frozen, we stopped casting and just sat down and let the boat drift for about twenty minutes.
I can't really explain it better but it was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in nature.
The rainbow started to fade, the big cooler was full of still kicking blues on ice, blood all over the deck, and three men without saying a word just looked at each other for a minute then started the motor and headed in.
I hope someday I have the opportunity to see something like that again, if not, it's OK, I saw it once.

Cool story willy..... Ive seen some crazy stuff like that in Harvey Cedars, Ive always said its rite in the track of a storm tunnel... its hard to explain .... you have to see it to believe it.

Here's the link to the campground we stayed in the last 2 years. Pretty close to the Barnegat Bay area. They have boat parking (extra fee of course) and its a mile or so to 2 ramps that I know of. I have been using a place called Downes Fish Camp but there also appears to be 2 marinas in Lanoka Harbor that have ramps as well.

We already have a trip booked ending that first weekend, if it was the second weekend, it would be tough for me to make it as well after being away...
