I live in the town of Galloway and trailer my boat to Absecon Bay. From there if the ocean is calm, I take it out of the Absecon Inlet. I have fished up in Barnegat Bay and gone out the Barnegat Inlet. There is great fishing in the bay, but lots of sand bars. you need to stay in channel if going across the bay even in your 15'. I don't travel up that far, but I do hit the shores of LBI for strippers. Maybe we will meet up sometime, always on the radio, I go by "GREENAPPLE".
