The Navesink River is more like a big brackish lake, except where it narrows-down and connects to Raritan Bay. While it is tidal, most of the river has negligible current, although it is wide enough to get choppy if the wind is strong. The water is generally clean, unlike the nearby Swimming River. Boat traffic is not too bad either.

No matter where you start from, the Navesink offers beautiful and interesting views along both banks. Nice houses and the Red Bank "skyline" along the south shore, and mansions along the north shore, including Governor Murphy's place not far from the 35 bridge, and the Bon Jovi estate.

The one place to stay away from is where the river narrows-down near Sea Bright - the boat traffic is heavy and the tidal current can be very strong.

Sunfish & Crappie

Bluegill Sunfish

There is scarcely a body of water in the state that does not have Bluegills in it. Bluegills get to a foot long, but are seldom seen at that size.

All sunfishes are aggressive and territorial. Their belligerence is heightened in the confines of an aquarium, where you may start out with several small ones, but you will end up with just one big one. A sunfish will tear a fish-store cichlid to pieces. They adapt readily to regular fish food, but lose most of the attractive wild colors.
