As stated in the original proposal, “The objective of this project is to improve the Point Pleasant Wildlife Management Area Fishing Access and Boat Ramp. This project scope includes repairing/replacing the fence along the canal, reclaiming upland area within the lagoon and enhancing fishing access, reinforcing a single-lane boat launch, creating a living shoreline, controlling erosion caused by runoff from onsite pond, and parking improvements in two locations.”
Specific goals of the project were as follows:
The state was confined to the existing footprint at the site, and they had to maximize what they did to ensure a quality experience for boaters and fishing access. The boat ramp was designed to accommodate a 23–25-foot boat, and this was the maximum size boat that the engineers could design with the constraints of the existing property.
Before the work began, the ramp property had some real issues. The fence had fallen along the canal creating an unsafe condition, there were issues with runoff and erosion from the pond overflowing and the sand ramp had been eroding away from the wave action from the canal as well as the erosion on the banks across from the opening of the canal. The US Army Corps of Engineers owns the canal and a section of land on the border. The ADA compliant sidewalk is meant to be driven on as part of the access road and was a requirement to be part of the project. The material for the road surface was the only material allowed through the permitting process with regards to impervious surface and nowhere is it eroding into the lagoon. Non-native vegetation was removed, and a living shoreline was created to stop future erosion.
We encourage you to report any trash dumping at the spot as this has been common in the past. Please carry out what you carry in. It’s up to the local angling community to keep this area great. I have visited the site and the state really did a great job. The ramp and shoreline fishing areas will be ready for the 2023 spring fishing season!
It's funny, Joe, I got the same advice when I was going to move my boat. I couldn't find a trailer that was set up for a sailboat, let alone one set up for my swing keel Catalina 25 (a very common boat) for under $1,000. Even the el-cheapo ones, by the time I was done making sure they were roadworthy, had proper supports, etc., were going to cost me more than it cost to have the boat trucked professionally. And then I didn't have to store the trailer anywhere while I tried to find another buyer.
Dave, at all aboard (NJ boat hauler.com) is a great guy and does a great job. He moved my boat in 2010. If you decide to go that way, he's the man. lou

You sailed into Barnegat Inlet sans engine in a gale....now this I gotta see....I have transitted that inlet well over 100 times and NEVER seen a sailboat sail in not under power let alone in a gale. With the amount of room, shoals, current and 100 yd wide channel at best in most places that would not only been foolhardy but dangerous to others also, and thatsin normal easy wind. A gale.....hard to beleive my friend. Next well find you sailed back to Barnegat Bay through the Sedge Islands Just an FYI Barnegat while passable is not an inlet to be taken lightly with with with a NE or E wind component
Look to manasquan river, point pleasant canal for fluke and bass.

It’s been a slow week for fishing reports, as gloomy weather has kept anglers confined to their home, offices and easy chairs instead of their beaches, piers and boats.
With the weather improving, so should participation, and those who wet a line will likely be rewarded with something to bring home for dinner. Many of the fluke being caught locally are shorts, but some keepers are in the mix. One hot spot has been the Manasquan River, Pete from Pell’s Fish and Sport on Mantoloking Road said Thursday.
This time of year, the fish can be found in a number of locations in the river. At this point in the season, my favorite spot in the river is the small channel that runs parallel to the Route 35 bridge on its west side. The water is usually calm there, and there are some good holes where larger fish may be hiding in wait for their prey to swim on by. Nose around with your boat and use your depth sounder to find deeper areas, then give it a drift. Since the water this far from the inlet will be a few degrees warmer, Berkeley Gulp baits are a great choice, and of course the squid/spearing combination always works.

Feb 10, 2004. 3,968. Hunter 40.5 Warwick, RI. Aug 9, 2020. #5. I have entered the inlet several times. Local knowledge that I have obtained said to approach the entrance from the north at about a 45 degree angle and then turn with plenty of power into the canal entrance. This is better than driving straight in.
With a 4-foot controlling depth, the waterway is too shallow for most sailboats. After entering Manasquan Inlet, we'd take the Point Pleasant Canal into Barnegat Bay. A small notation on the chart next to Point Pleasant Canal read, "Dangerous currents, traverse at slack water.". I got out our Coastal Guide Book, which stated, "Extra ...

Give the crew a call for sailing times. The ocean bluefish bite has been steady aboard the Queen Mary party boat out of Point Pleasant. The crew was expecting winds to keep them at the dock Friday, but the weekend was looking like a go. On recent trips, when the boat has been able to sail, pool winners have been in the 15-pound range.
