Dunno if the fishing's really hot at fall time -- ive only fished in the spring and summer, but southern New Jersey is great. There are a few fishy spots that I know of, and I'm sure alot I don't know of, which should be even better without the horseshoe crabs of the summer. You could take a cruise on the AJ Meerwald, NJ's official tall ship. Your girlfriend would love it -- you can help set the sails, and if they trawl, help bring it up, and touch all the fishies they catch. Wildwood's got a sweet retro boardwalk with great people-watching and carnival rides. Cape May's C-View has better wings than Hooters. Lots of kayak rentals in the marshes -- getting a couple stripers while you tour the wetlands would rule. Farm stands, dodgy motels, porn stores where teenage girls with rolling suitcases leave with old men in tinted-window cadillacs, full-serve gas...it doesn't get any better. Oh yeah, and Wawa convenience stores with the best sandwiches ever -- on-screen ordering with all the options. Stone Harbor is good for taking a drive, saying "that's my dream house. no, no, THAT's my dream house", and sweet shells and sea glass to collect on the beautiful beaches. My vote's for SoNJ all the way. Something for everyone -- fish for you, and non-girly-girl fun for your GF. If you go there, let me know, and I can give you better details. Have fun whatever you choose!
