FAVORITE NEARBY 
FISHING RESORTS 
(continued from page 405) 
thrown across, but it still affords good 
fishing where the proper place is known, 
as I personally saw some beautiful striped 
bass taken during the season of 1917 at 
least eight miles from the inlet, one in 
particular weighing above eleven pounds. 
Just within the bend of the river near 
its mouth is one of the best grounds for 
plaice along the coast and has so been 
known for many years. Boat fishing for 
them is usually practiced and the use of 
the float and live bait the method. Point 
Pleasant along the south bank as well as 
its ocean frontage is too well-known to 
need much description. It has from time 
beyond present man’s ken been a favorite 
resort for the angling fraternity. The old 
part of the town, which lies about one 
mile back from the ocean front, partakes 
of many of the legends of the sea; and 
folks will tell you of the days when ves¬ 
sels were stranded on the bar, not alto¬ 
gether by accident or stress of storm, and 
the spoils gathered in by the thrifty watch¬ 
ers, who it is asserted kept fires burning 
at times altogether too great in volume for 
the coldness of the weather. Bay Head, 
Lavallette, Seaside Park and Ortley are all 
good points at certain seasons for such 
fish as striped bass, kingfish, plaice, weak- 
fish and the favorite bluefish when they 
are on the move shoreward. All these 
points can be reached by trains on the 
Central R. R. of New Jersey, as far as 
Point Pleasant when the Pennsylvania serv¬ 
ice must be taken on. 
T HIS carries us down to Barnegat inlet 
to what is known as north point of 
beach. Here the largest of bluefish 
are met with and while they are not always 
in evidence, still there are but few if any 
spots along the coast that are productive 
of better results with this last-named fish. 
Striped bass are taken here freely at times; 
while as a rule they are not so large as 
those taken more to the north still they 
are met with up to thirty pounds, which 
is all the most enthusiastic should desire. 
And it here that one of the many anomalies 
of fish life presents itself. This point 
seems to be the average limit of the north¬ 
ern range of the channel bass. While a 
few are taken each season much to the 
north, the great body of them do not pass 
this terminal, if so it may be termed. This 
is the great northern inlet to Barnegat 
Bay and is about one mile in width. A 
continually shifting channel makes entrance 
from the sea at all times hazardous for 
anything but light draft craft. Both sides 
of the inlet are good points for the chan¬ 
nel bass but the south side is undoubtedly 
the better ground and more acceptable to 
the angler as reasonably good hotel ac¬ 
commodations are to be had in close prox¬ 
imity, and the charges are kept to a mod¬ 
erate rate. This is known as Barnegat 
City and has long been a famous resort 
for fishermen. It is quaint to a degree 
and glories rather as a sportsman’s rest 
than a summer resort. We have, how¬ 
ever, in our stretch down the beach passed 
many good points for inland fishing within 
the bay proper. At times around the rail-
