Hey if you don't mind hopping through the meadows(a very delicate art to say the least)I can sling you some coords of very nice islands out in the marsh to visit.Their are also several towers for bird watchers in the marsh.Don't know how a tower helps when you already have unlimited visibility at ground level but the state loves to build em.Also if you like swamps theirs some doozies right along 553.Bear swamps east and west are awesome.east is a big beech swamp and west is like hip deep in water and has the only virgin patch of timber in nj and some of the oldest treeson the east coast estimated at 4 to 500 years old.Some areas are cellulose hell and others are quite open almost like a cypress swamp only gum and maple.Some of the biggest holly trees I've ever seen on very open islands too.
Redneck 350 is right about the crabbing but I think your a little late for that.Hollywood beach is the only place i know where you can go freshwater crabbing.Theirs a breach in the back of a blue hole there where tidal water invades the blue hole at high tide and while the ecosystem is still definitely freshwater(not for long with rising sea levels) the crabs get in and thrive.Theirs plenty to eat in way of dead fish and eggs and such and less predators and no crabbers.who would go crabbing in a blue hole????Shhh.Part of the area is private and part state.I'm sketchy on which is which i just stay away from the west end where the houses are
