Thanks, are the fish within casting distance from shore?  How close do they come?

They definitely come within casting distance, sometimes as close as 20 feet. Just check out River Rd as suggested and fish where you see surface activity. The two hours prior to high tide are your best bet as the fish usually swim in with the tide.
