Tices Shoal
3 feet of water at that mark. On the East side of the Barnegat Bay just north of the Barnegat Inlet. Sandy bottom, shallow water and a boardwalk to walk from the bayside to the ocean. From the North, from ICW #40 set a heading of approximately 155 Degrees for approximately 2.50 miles. From the South, from ICW BB set a heading of approximately 90 Degrees for approximately 3.0 miles. In either case, you will know you are there when you can't see the beach through the boats. Watch the depth gauge, OK for larger drafts just don't get to close to shore.
Treasure Island, a.k.a Osborn Island
Approach from West, give island way as there is a spit to the South that is submerged at high tide. Tide range about 3 feet. Low tide can be a problem for drafts over 3 feet or so.
F-Cove, a.k.a Traders Cove
Just North of Mantoloking Bridge on the Western Shore. Local hangout. There is a hump at the entrance to the cove that is around 3ft deep, but after you get into the cove it is very deep. Most folks nose their bow against the bank.

Fishing

Due to the Gulf Stream, the Hudson River Flow and the Delaware River Flow, the area produces a wide variety of species, such as Bluefish, Striped Bass, Fluke, Weakfish, and many types of tropical fish.
Fish the upper Barnegat around the Mantalooking Bridge, The buoy 10 (canal entrance) area, and the Manasquan River are all accessible within a short distance from the marina.
