NJ Belmar Inlet/Beaches in that Area

Hey, im not sure if this is where I go about posting this subject, so if its in the wrong place im sorry. Anyways, I just wanted to know if anyone has fished these areas recently, mainly Belmar Inlet, Bradley Beach, and anything around there.

All the freshwater ponds/rivers around here are pretty dead if not all frozen. So I've been dyin to wet a line and am thinking about taking a trip down the shore to see if theres anything to be caught.

Anyone fish these areas recently? Or heard anything about whats going on down there, fishing from the land. I don't have a boat, so going out to sea is out of the question, plus I get sea sick, not that I don't still go out every now and again, but sick and cold is not a combination I'd like to have.

Last I heard (about 2 months ago), there were some herring being caught around the inlet, particularly on sabiki rigs (http://www.stripersonline.com/fish_photos/data/500/Sabiki_rig.jpg). And I've read alot of reports on blackfish/ling being caught offshore on shiprecks etc, I don't know if there around the inlet, or areas I can get to from land, but thats basiclly all the action I've heard of so far. Just thought I'd make a post and hope someone fishes this area or has heard about this area within the past week or two, this way I know what to try for, and what to use. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated, im dying to hook up with something, its been like 2 weeks since I hooked up with a fish... and thats just too long for me ;D.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention, I don't really want to do any striper fishing with livebait, as thats kind of boring and its too cold to just be sitting there waiting for a hit on a freezing beach. I don't mind throwing livebait for more aggressive fish, such as blackfish etc, where I can drag the bait along the bottom, basiclly cancelling out the boring part. But mainly I'd prefer throwing artificials.
