South Jersey Shore Points

[FeeMan]

Sea Isle, Ocean City, Avalon, Cape May.........looking for hunting partners in south jersey. Plenty of hunting experience on scuba but none free diving. Any takers? Not looking for a babysitter and wont be too much a purdon, I just need people who know the best places to hunt and the little details that come with it. Any takers? Thanks

weird.....nobody wants to share thier secret spots

[FeeMan]

I'm not asking for secret spots just some dive buddies to to report me missing if I don't surface, just kidding. Seriously I just want to hunt safely with a few people rather then by myself. Any help?..........by the way thinking about buying a new wetsuit specifically for this, thinking the omer black 5mm works, suggestions?

if it fits and keeps you warm than it works...Some will tell you that 5mm will be too much but i'd rather be warm and let water into the suit than be cold and not be able to do anything about it.

I went with the 5mm. Actually found a place online in Florida from a past forum post, Florida FreeDivers, they had Sporasub two piece 5mm for $89.00 clearance. Hopefully its not junk, all posts seemed to be positive with talking about the deal. I have been in contact with SpanishFly, should be hunting shortly in NJ.

I got the same suit about a month ago, Can't go wrong with the price vs. value!

i have the 7mm sporasub and got it for 75.00 on ebay.. Ive beat on it for 2 yrs and have had no problems...

[FeeMan]

Thanks for the reassurance.

Feeman, I'll be spearing the same areas you mentioned. Particularly out of Cape May and Townsends Inlet between Sea Isle and Avalon. I plan to dive the closer artificial reefs such as Ocean City reef and Townsends Inlet reef. I've already found a few guys in this area on this board, same as you are looking. In fact I dove with a couple of them Saturday at the Cape May jetty. What a whopper of a striper one of the guys shot! Have room on the boat for 3 or possibly 4 total. I trailer 50 miles to Cape May (1 hour) or 50 minutes to the ramp between exit 13 on GSP and Avalon (Townsends Inlet). How far do you live from those two points? Shoot me a PM or e-mail.

[Jersey Jim]

Tom, I free dive the reefs. Only been on the Ocean City reef but liked the activity I saw on various patch reefs. Want to try the Townsend inlet reef first this season. It's a little closer and only in the 40's to 50 for depth.

ive tried townsed inlet before, its a boat if i remember. i kept watching the water and even when it was clear inshore and offshore there was a murkey 0 vis water about twenty feet down i guess flowing out from the inlet.

[Jersey Jim]

I didn't mean a wreck near the inlet, I think I know the one you're refering to, but the TI reef about 4 miles out. Quite a few new wrecks added in addition to a dozen reef-ball patch-reefs. I want to get further out so I don't add to the overfishing on the jetty.

The wreck right outside the inlet is the China Wreck. I've been out fishing the TI reef and on a good day i could see 20ft down easily.
