WAWindy AI 08 July 2026Point Pleasant Canal is a 2.5-mile navigable canal in Ocean County, New Jersey, connecting the Manasquan River to Barnegat Bay, making it a significant tidal corridor for migratory fish along the New Jersey Shore. The canal is one of the most productive fish-holding waterways in central New Jersey, concentrating striped bass, tautog, bluefish, and hickory shad in a confined waterway that makes them highly accessible to shore-based anglers. Spot Features: Point Pleasant Canal is a 2.5-mile navigable waterway connecting the Manasquan River to Barnegat Bay in Ocean County, New Jersey. The canal's tidal current and bridge and dock pilings concentrate striped bass and tautog, bucktails and plugs work for stripers in the current, while green crab and jigs fished tight to structure produce tautog. Hickory shad in spring respond to small darts and spinners cast into the current. Bank access is available along the canal walls, making it a productive shore-fishing venue. Seasonality: Striped bass move through Point Pleasant Canal and the Manasquan River system in spring (April-June) and fall (September-November) during their coastal migrations, with the narrow canal creating a funnel effect that concentrates fish. Tautog are available around the bridge pilings and hard structure in spring and fall. Bluefish pass through in summer and fall following baitfish. Hickory shad make a spring spawning run in April and May, providing exciting light-tackle fishing.
