Though it’s best to stay away from tackle which may not be suitable for the fishing your angler enjoys, you can’t go wrong with AFTCO fishing clothing. I wear AFTCO shorts almost every day as they not only are almost indestructible, but also fashionable. AFTCO also features a line of Guy Harvey shirts covering many types of saltwater fish in action. Many tackle shops carry AFTCO clothing which can also be purchased on their web site.

If your angler regularly fishes aboard a particular party boat, you can go to their web site and find discounted trip tickets which can be used at any time. The same thing can be accomplished with his favorite tackle shop.

For young anglers, a stocking full of such odds and ends as leadered hooks and sinkers may be more appreciated than school clothing. At least that was the case with me when I started fishing with a cane pole from docks around Merrick, Long Island!

The forecast for NY/NJ Bight is for southwest winds at 15-20 knots before diminishing to 15 in the afternoon. Rain and snow is likely.
