Benji Crabbing and Fishing joins us to share his journey from passionate angler to charter captain, offering a wealth of knowledge about backwater fishing opportunities in coastal New Jersey waters.

• Benji recently became a licensed charter captain after years of preparation and learning from fellow anglers
• Late summer flounder fishing has tapered off earlier than expected this year
• Blackfish (tautog) fishing around bridges provides exciting action even in backwaters
• Sheepshead fishing requires patience but can be rewarding when combined with targeting other species
• Crabbing remains productive using chicken necks as bait in topless traps
• New Jersey regulations require hard shell crabs to measure at least 4.5 inches
• Building relationships with other anglers is crucial for expanding fishing knowledge
• Equipment for fishing and content creation doesn't need to be expensive to be effective
• Water safety should always be a priority following recent boating accidents
