FISHING IN ATLANTIC COUNTY WATERS

Atlantic County is home to both the freshwater and saltwater striped bass records. Follow this link to the NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife to learn more about these records: http://www.njfishandwildlife.com/news/2002/recstrpr.htm

Al McReynolds World Record Striper
Al McReynolds caught this 78 lb 8 oz World Record striper from the Vermont Ave. jetty in Atlantic City following days of September Nor'easter storming in 1982.

The Atlantic County Park system provides a number of excellent fishing opportunities - both Fresh & Saltwater fishing options. We offer opportunities for traditional freshwater fishing on Lake Lenape and Striper, herring, perch and cat fishing at the Gaskill Park bulkhead as well as on South River in the North End of the Estell Manor Park. We also have our saltwater pier on Rt 152 which is fully handicapped accessible.
