Spot Features: Shark River Inlet connects Shark River Bay to the Atlantic Ocean in Monmouth County, New Jersey, with productive jetties, tidal rips, and channels that concentrate striped bass, bluefish, summer flounder, black sea bass, and tautog. The inlet's Belmar boat ramp and jetties provide excellent access to the Jersey Shore's diverse inshore fishery. Seasonality: Striped bass are the primary target at Shark River Inlet in Monmouth County, New Jersey, best in spring (May-June) and fall (September-October). Bluefish are abundant from June through October. Summer flounder (fluke) are the prime summer species in the inlet channels. Black sea bass and tautog are fall bottom species.
