Absecon Bay Sportsman Center is for Sale

For all information, please contact David F. O'Neal,

The O'Neal Group 856-304-9545 cell, 856-396-4567 office

It is official, my wife Judy and I are putting our Absecon Creek Property and Business is up for sale. A.K.A. “Absecon Bay Sportsman Center”. For over thirty-two years, this has been our home, where we raised our family. As well as our business, that took an incredible amount of time as our only source of income, but has provided us with a decent living. After all this time, I feel that we have earned the right to simplify our lives and take a little time to sit back, relax and enjoy what comes next.
Though I will be giving up the retail bait and tackle, I will never leave the water and my number one ambition is to put more time on the water and expand my guide service and introduce many more anglers to the fantastic fishing I have grown to know in the Greater Atlantic City area. I also hope to extend my presence in Judy’s native Guatemala and continue to explore the fantastic offshore fishing on Guatemala’s Pacific Coast, which I have not been able to do as I desire because of demands here.
This property is unique in many ways. It is just over one acre with approximately 200 feet of waterfront on Absecon Creek, which winds its way from the dam at Mill Road, under Route 9 and the White Horse Pike, past the Absecon Municipal Boat Ramp on Faunce Landing Road and out to Absecon Bay and on to Absecon Inlet on the North end of Atlantic City.
Historically this has been a boat yard for generations. It is situated on the deep-water bend backed up to raised area on Natalie Terrace which provides protection from North East Storms and a high elevation that stayed dry even during Hurricane Sandy. It is one of the very few properties in Absecon that actually backs up directly to the Creek. The waterfront has been used for a Marine Railway for hauling boats up to about thirty feet and floating dock slips for twenty boats up to twenty feet long.
There are two buildings on the property, one is the bait and tackle retail store and our home living space. There is an eight hundred square foot tackle shop jammed with all the equipment need to fish the back bays and near shore local waters. The living area is primarily the entire upstairs area which includes a sun room with absolutely the best view in Absecon. Two bedrooms, a kitchen, a living room and a full bath make up the rest of the area. Half of the downstairs area is also living space opening to a deck and fenced in yard giving us some private space on the premises.
The back building is the workshop and storage area. Currently the workshop is on a short-term lease to M&B Marine which will end if the property is sold. It is a full 13’ X 20’overhead door which will allow entry by large boats. The other half of the building is my Absecon Bay Sportsman Center storage and refrigeration area and there is an upstairs storage and a room with bathroom that would make a great office.
This property is suitable for any number of endeavors and since I personally am not qualified to go into the many possibilities I have associated with David F. O’Neil of Berkshire Hathaway / Fox & Roach Realtors. For complete information please call David at 856-304-9545 and he will be glad to discuss all aspects with you.
As to my present situation. I will be running Absecon Bay Sportsman Center at 100% and continue to give you the very best attention along with the best tackle and especially live bait, as long as I own the property. As usual the fall Striper Season is my favorite time of year and we will be open regular hours and I will booking charters as often as the weather and stripers allow. Please continue to give me the chance to supply you with all your fishing bait and tackle needs.

2017, 1st Striper of the Season Contest

It took until just after noon on March 1st. for the first Striped bass to come thru the door. Donovan Vasquez caught this 9.4#. 30" Mullica River Beauty on a bloodworm. He said he didn't know how many shorts he had to cull thru to get it, but the action is constant. He did pick up a few White Perch between the aggressive short Stripers. With his winnings he picked up a really nice combo. A Penn Clash 4000 on a Tsunami Classic Rod with a full spool of 30# Power Pro. There is still a $100 Gift certificate for the second fish and $50 for the third. Also prizes for kids and the 1st woman to catch a keeper so keep on fishing.

Mullica Madness Fishing Trips

Spring Striper Fishing has Begun! There has been a Fantastic Bite of Schoolie Sized Stripers and Jumbo sized White Perch biting in the Mullica and Great Egg Harbor Rivers. Things have slowed a bit from this Mid-March cold front, but I am planning on starting Mullica Madness River Exploration Trips Monday March 20 which just happens to be the first day of Spring.

For these early season trips I will be trailering my boat and in most cases I will be launching at Chestnut Neck Marina on the Mullica River. I may also make some trips on the south side to the Great Egg Harbor River, if I get the right reports.

These trips will be serious endeavors with at least four hours of actual "Lines In" and be available Weekdays thru April. Special total Pricing will be:

Single Angler $200

2 or 3 anglers $250

4 Anglers $300
