A
company that will ship you fresh seafood - overnight, that are
caught from sustainable sources, according to them. But, even
if they aren't from sustainable sources, they will ship you
seafood overnight. Nah, they're probably from sustainable sources.

A
fishing club that predates the first sideburn era - Garbage
Fish are proud members.
|
|
|
|
|
A
cool band of recreational fishermen who regularly participate
in the Garbage Fish Classic, have even won, and seem to know
how have fun and enjoy life.
|
A
nonprofit organization of volunteers, dedicated to physically
reseeding our local waters with clams and educating and fostering
awareness for the health and well being of our waters, the critters
that live in them, and what happens to those critters when you
empty your boat's shit tank into the bay.

A
super friendly tackle shop at the Jersey Shore with great prices,
cute girls, and pretty much everything you could need, even
kayaks. A convenient stop on your way to the boat . If you are
in the market for garbage fish flags - they are one of only
2 East Coast retailors that can sell you a sea robin flag, dogfish
flag or skate flag. They are also an official weigh station
for the Garbage
Fish Classic.

Ever go to one of those places where part of their shtick is
to abuse you? This is like the bait and tackle shop of those
places, except it's not a shtick and yet somehow you'll leave
better for it. Famous for their fresh clams and custom made
rods - this place is legit. If you avoid Grump - and speak with
Paul, Ray or Mike, you'll get helpful, knowledgable, friendly
service - and great prices on anything and everything you need.
You'll get all of that with Grumpy too, minus the friendly.
If you've considered having a custom rod made, this is the absolute
spot. They are also the original exclusive retail supplier of
Garbage Fish flags - so pick up a Sea Robin flag and get fitted
for a custom skate rod while there.

The
Inn At Rivers Edge Marina - Forked River, NJ
|
|
|
A
slamming bed and breakfast in Forked River, NJ, on the water,
with its own marina - but it would be tough to have a marina
otherwise. Only a brief strole to the tiki bar at Captain's
Inn and a slightly longer more ambitious strole to Latitudes
Restaurant and Bar but yet still a reasonable strole. Bob and
the staff at River's Edge are known to put the "breakfast"
in bed and breakfast.

A
well moderated fishing forum that is big on useful fishing info
and short on the ridiculous banter from people like us.

Have
you ever plunked down $300 on a baseball bat for your 6 year
old - who's going to use it to play street hockey and crush
bugs but your wife swears he needs it for t-ball because all
of the other kids are using them? If so, you're a moron like
me - but now you can go buy one second hand at Play it Again
Sports, tell her it's new, and spend the money you saved and
then spend it on fishing stuff. Used athletic equipment, as
long as it's not athletic supporters, is a great idea.

One
word: Bait-o-matic. Can't make this stuff up. The good people
of Lacey Marine can not only provide tackle, supply you with
all your boating equipment needs and even point you towards
fish, but even when they aren't there - you can get bait in
their Bait O Matic. It looks like a big soda machine - but instead
of buying Mt. Dew, you can buy spearing, bunker, mullet, etc.
- which is nice if your either really hungry or you need to
get bait and all the shops are closed. They are also an official
weigh station for the Garbage
Fish Classic.

The
only company on planet Earth with the foresight to sponsor the
pro staff at Garbage Fish with free product. Why do we stand
by this sunscreen? Two reasons: #1 - they give it to us for
free. #2 - it has a non oily formula that will not spunk up
your bait and spook the fish. Don't believe us - we did a clinical
test at garbage fish laboratories. Click

If
you've ever been to Long Beach Island, NJ - you've driven by
here. It's on the right hand side - just off the causeway. Greg,
Stan and crew have been a staple shop on L.B.I. for years. They've
got literally everything - and are a great resource for those
of you fishing Penn Fishing reels. We asked Penn if they would
be interested in sponsoring team Garbage Fish and they laughed
so hard, the rep said he actually pooped himself for the first
time in his adult life, but we still love using their reels
and the guys at Fish Heads are experts at servicing them. They
are also an official weigh station for the Garbage
Fish Classic.

If
the casinos aren't your flavor - dust A.C. and head north over
the bridge towards Captain Andy's Riptide Bait and Tackle in
Brigantine, NJ. Captain Andy can outfit you and almost literally
put fish on the end of your line - with their expert local fishing
knowledge and close proximity to the back bays and some great
surf fishing. You guessed it - they are also an official weigh
station for the Garbage
Fish Classic.

These
guys fly fish for tuna. We couldn't catch a tuna if we had a
tuna net and there were already tuna in it. They've authored
two books on saltwater fishing - have a fleet of atleast 10
boats at this point, are hard core fishermen and genuinely nice
dudes. Whether you want to go for false albies on the fly, fish
the back bays for striped bass, or go offshore for pelagics
- if you want to fish the NJ coastal area, they've got the boats,
captains and expertise to provide you with memorable fishing.

Stop
by this Mom and Pop clam shop on the Boulevard in Surf City,
NJ and say hello to proprietors, Mike, Neil and Gerry - who've
been hooking the island up with fresh clams, seafood and tasty
chowders- since we were knee high to an asshopper. Drop some
nice coin and Neil might throw in a surf lesson.
|
Don't
believe us? Check out 5 Corners Kitchen in Marblehead Massachussets
where you can get wild striped bass with roasted asparagus,
ragout of house-made pancetta, wild mushrooms & caulifower,
brown butter vinaigrette - but, we bet you'll go for the local
Marblehead Skate with pommes purée, haricots verts, capers cornichons,
in a lemon brown butter sauce. That's what we're talking about.

I
heard about this show a few years back and gave it a listen.
The first show I heard was mostly about turkey hunting. I don't
hunt and unless something walks into my house, I generally won't
shoot it, but I listened to the whole show because Tom P. is
a fun, knowledgable and high energy host of this outstanding
fishing and hunting show. Listen weekly to hear expert guests,
tips, techniques, and up to date fishing and hunting reports.
