Fishing Acronyms

Looks like we have a lot of new members and a lot of them have been asking what certain initals mean. Here is a list I started. Post up any you can think of and I will add them to the master list. There is another post but not all of them are on it. Maybe we can make this a sticky so everyone can see it.

MI: Manasquan Inlet
IBSP: Island Beach State Park
BLR: Barnegat Light Reef
BI: Barnegat Inlet
BB: Barnegat Bay
OCC: Oyster Creek Channel
BL: Barnegat Light
DC: Double Creek or DCC - Double Creek Channel
LEI: Little Egg Inlet
LBI: Long Beach Island
HH: Honey Hole - The secret place you like to fish
The Tires: Barnegat Light Reef/BLR
ICW: Intercoastal Waterway
BI: ICW Marker near OCC
BB: ICW Marker near Forked River
GSRN: Garden State Reef North
GSRS: Garden State Reef South
HBH: High Bar Harbor
BH: Beach Haven
BHW: Beach Haven West

I believe the numbers are 74 05. 000 -- 39 54. 114 hope that helps.

Yeah I started fishing this morning at BI. Then I went over to BI for a little while. It was slow so I went to the BL reef. then I went over to the tires. LOL

Great idea, Dan!

OK on a more serious note.
FA or Fat albert = false albacore
BFT= bluefin tuna
YFT= yellowfin tuna
eyeball = bigeye tuna
AP = atlantic princess

Ahhh...The 'AP', I so miss going to see her...

Dan

GSRN: Garden State Reef North AKA GSN
GSRS: Garden State Reef South AKA GSS
CC - Chicken Canyon
GH - Glory Hole
Bonz- Atlantic Bonito

Joe, can you fix this so I can edit the post to add more? It won't allow me to

Not easily, it is a global setting that once a post is a certain age it can not be edited anymore. Email me and I can do it with my admin ID.

Nice job Dan, thanks!

good stuff thanks dan

whats RB? Raritan bay?half way between the BI and RB i see birds

Range buoy !!!!!

dick d

thanx capt.

Dan: While it's not an acronym i see a lot of references to the "Research Buoy" is that one specific buoy? Can you clarify what that is and where it is located?

It's a Buoy that sits between BB & BI that was placed by Rugters I believe. Closer to BI and to the east of it. It monitors the water quality.

Where is "the pipe"?

It's a sewer pipe that runs into the ocean from the south end of Seaside Park/beginning of IBSP look west from the beach it's around the last line of telephone poles running east to west.
I believe the numbers are 74 05. 000 -- 39 54. 114 hope that helps.

It marked on some charts, hold fish like nuts sometimes.

One of my fav haunts by land or sea.

Maybe Joe can give me access to edit the origin post so I can add the other acronyms. I didn't realize it's that old!

You should be able to edit it now...
