Sandy Hook


Sandy Hook is the closest spot to go for good salt water kayak fishing if you live in Northern New Jersey. About 3/4 of the way to the end of the island there is a parking lot with picnic tables and barbeque's next to it. This is the best place to park and unload your yaks. Just across the big lawn there is a little beach that is a very easy spot to get into the water.


There are many different species of fish to go for but most people fish for striped bass, fluke and bluefish. If you're going for fluke or bluefish the bay is the easiest place to go. For striped bass you're going to have to do some paddlingto get around the tip of the island and fish the breakers on the ocean side.
