Hi, I’m originally from Oregon and fished for trout, steelhead, salmon, and sturgeon with the occasional bass thrown in. New to New Jersey. Went fishing at lakes around here with my father-in-law.

He passed away recently and we want to honor him by fishing on his birthday — July 4th.

We’re thinking of going to Manasquan Reservoir. Looking for any advice for a fun day.
