If you get flat weather you can run to the Shark River reef. (roughly 20 miles from Manasquan or Shark River inlets)
There's ling and porgies and you can keep 2 winter flounder (they are big out there). You can keep 1 blackfish. Have to throw back sea bass until Oct 8 but you will know where they are when it starts...
There are lobster pots just east of there holding some dolphin and last year small bluefins showed up in October.
Along the beach... my photo albums show that the first keeper bass show on the 15th of October but it usually doesn't get good until well into November.
I suppose drifting a live bunker in the schools always has potential for bass. There have been a few nice cobia caught that way in Ocean county waters.
