I have been fishing for years, and I tie and sell my own saltwater flies (http://www.stevessaltwaterflies.com) I am curious to know where your favorite fishing spots are in NJ.

shakepeare wonderglass fly rod keik taper FY180 8′ 6"
fenwick Model FL96-7
bamboo 3 piece rod many sided Oxyden
all are over 26 years old but in great condition. In a hard tube case
the shakespeare and fenwick are really not worth much at all but the bamboo would deffinately be worth something to someone.
i’m not sure where you are but find your local casting club

Hello! I am new to fishing, and I’m trying to get my head around the different UK disciplines. Some help would be much appreciated, and please correct me if I am wrong in my assumptions.
I understand that fly fishing is very complex, and can only really be done in certain areas of the UK- namely the Scottish highlands and certain parts of the South (Dorset, Hampshire etc). I believe it is the ‘king’ of fishing sports- very regal, expensive and traditionally only enjoyed by the upper classes.
Coarse river fishing is your everyman angling.
Coarse lake fishing involves big, stupid carp that only survive because they are fed by the anglers, get caught at least once a day, and just swim aimlessly around. It’s very easy to catch fish in a lake and is a sport for the ‘common’ man.
Sea fishing is a bit ‘rough around the edges’, and is much more a game of chance than fly- or- coarse fishing. Lots of big kit and not much physical skill needed, only an obsession with casting as far as possible.
This information is only my own conclusions from the magazines I have read. I am eager to get in to fishing and want to try all the different types, however at the moment I only have basic sea fishing gear and have been to the beach twice, as I live on the coast.
Please comment, and put me right if need be. Thanks.
Fishing is about having fun and hopefully catching some dinner or just taking pics and releasing. All that crap is hogwash !! Don’t fall in to the stereotyping. If you like, do it, no matter what you are fishing for or whatever methods you use. I do understand about the fly fisherman. They think they are all that and seem to be purists. I’m a purist in a sense also. I go out and catch my own bait and use what’s natural to the water system. How more purist is that and how can they be purists if they use stuff that is FAKE, ROFL.
