The Saltwater Fishing Club for Ocean County & the Surrounding Areas
The Village Harbour Fishing Club, Inc. (VHFC) was started in 1989 as a non-profit organization to bring together those anglers wishing to further their knowledge of sportfishing in our area of the New Jersey shore. Whether it is bay or ocean fishing that boils your blood, the Village Harbour Fishing Club has members that will share your enthusiasm! We support the conservation of our precious fishing resources as well as our inland and oceanic waters and adjacent lands. We also support the NJ artificial Reef Program. We strive to promote the best interests of recreational angling, and to establish sportsmanship and fellowship. Throughout the year, we sponsor fishing tournaments and club events designed to foster these ideals.
VHFC meets the second Friday of each month from April through November. Meetings are at the Manahawkin Community Center located at 775 E. Bay Ave. Manahawkin, NJ. Meetings will begin at 6:30 PM and doors will open at 6:00.
Annual Membership: $50. Juniors $10 (under 18 Years Old).
