Whether it?s?commercial, recreational, or ?sport fishing,?anglers can take advantage of the more than 400?publicly accessible lakes, ponds and reservoirs available in New Jersey. Along with April showers, the spring season also brings large numbers of striped bass and American shad to New Jersey waters for anglers to take advantage of. The fluke, also known as summer flounder, is probably the most sought after fish in New Jersey. Sandy Hook, which is part of the National Park Service Gateway National Recreation Area is a great place to fish for fluke. The?Manasquan River,?Double Creek Channel, and?Northern Bay are also popular places to take advantage of fluke during the summer season which usually starts around May.

There are also more than 8,000 miles of freshwater streams available for fishing. For example, Bass River State Forest is?a popular site in New Jersey and freshwater species there are mainly pickerel, sunfish, and catfish.

For those who are new to the sport, New Jersey offers annual free fishing days where?anyone may fish the Garden State?s public waters without a license or trout stamp.?Saturday and Sunday, June 15 and 16, will be New Jersey?s Free Fishing Days in 2013. ?

Private land hunting has become more scarce over the years, leaving avid hunting enthusiasts scratching their heads and wondering where they can hone in on their craft. The great thing about New Jersey is that more public land is progressively becoming available for hunting. According to the New Jersey Division of Fish & Wildlife, New Jersey offers sportsmen and women more than 500,000 acres of state-owned public open space. This total includes more than 331,000 acres in 121?Wildlife Management Areas, specifically managed to enhance wildlife populations and provide for wildlife-oriented recreation.

For example, Allamuchy Mountain State Park ?has an available 6,122 acres available for hunting deer, small game, turkey, and water fowl. Cheesequake State Park offers a special deer hunt area totaling 900 acres open to special permit holders for those interested solely in deer hunting. Turkey, small game and waterfowl are also available for hunting at this park. Hunting season usually begins around September for Cheesequake State Park.

Sportsmen and women?can also enjoy more than one hundred days of deer hunting, including seasons for bow, shotgun and muzzleloading rifle. Check with your local state park for a list of available dates.
