During high tide, ocean water flows from Townsend's Inlet into Avalon's back bays and channels. With these currents Flounder, Bluefish and Weakfish migrate into the deep holes and channels for food. Prized for table fare and respected on light tackle, these gamefish can be easily had for the angler in you. Continue deeper into the saltmarshes for Blue Claw Crabs.

 

For the naturalist, winding your way up the creeks into the saltmarshes affords one with wonderful views of the shore bird life. Also watch the hermit crabs scurry along the mud during high tide. It is easy to explore this ecosystem. A day can be spent riding up and down Pennsylvania, Princeton and Cornell waterways, and the fingers of 42nd street.

Be it fishing, crabbing or just riding around, our ship store has a complete line of bait (live and frozen), hooks and crab traps.
