The fish Point Pleasant Beach anglers chase year-round, inshore and off:
Point Pleasant Beach is a Jersey Shore fishing hub, home to a big charter and party-boat fleet running out of the Manasquan Inlet for fluke, sea bass and bluefish through the season. The inlet and the nearby surf are reliable striped-bass and bluefish water during the spring and fall runs, and false albacore and bonito show along the beaches in early fall. Bottom boats reach the Mud Hole and the nearshore wrecks for sea bass and ling.
