luv2hunt - Figured I start a new post for those who are interested...
A great place that I like to fish for Blueback Herring is in the Shark River off of the Main St. Bridge in-between Avon and Belmar.
The fish seem to congregate under the lights. Outgoing tide on the Ocean/East side of the bridge is best.
Shakespeare Ugly Stick, small Penn Slammer reel, 6# dia./20 lb. test Power ProLine, Sabiki Fish Skin or Rainbow Fish Skin Jigs and a 1/2 - 1 oz. sinker are the trick. Just drop the line straight down, then bounce the sinker until you find the fish as the line goes out with the tide.

Manasquan inlet is also good.
This time of year there is little if any boat traffic, so you really can have a great time.
Here's some recipes:

These recipes are from 1845 & 1903:
