I grew up on the bay in Forked River. Last week their was decent action on blues and fluke, weakies thin.
The bay itself is very shallow (5-7ft) over the majority. Lots of fluke along the channel running N/S near the lighthouse and west along the Sedge Islands. (I'm still getting used to the concept of fluke fishing in 80' up here)
Killies and squid is typical fare down there because of the tidal estuaries.
The inlet is considered the 2nd most hazardous on the east coast. Caution in a small boat. Usually see the CG chasing the smaller guys from fishing the inlet on hairier days.
Still getting stripers from the north jetties across from Barnegat Light on Island Beach.
Save yourself some beach access $$ and anchor in bay at Tices Shoal then walk across island to the ocean for surf.
