<strong>Brielle</strong> (<strong>NJ</strong>) (<strong>Images</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>America</strong>) (Union Landing Historical Society) When incorporated in 1919, <strong>Brielle</strong> was a summer tourist destination with a fledgling recreational fishing industry. The Manasquan Inlet permanently reopened in 1931, ensuring <strong>Brielle</strong>’s status as a center for recreational sportfishing. Anglers flocked to <strong>Brielle</strong> to participate in tournaments, party boat passengers drove “down the shore?? to enjoy a day <strong>of</strong> fishing, and a fleet <strong>of</strong> sportfishingboats grew at the docks. The personalities and stories <strong>of</strong> individual anglers are as varied as the fleet <strong>of</strong> vessels, from the anonymous fishermen who fluked along the Manasquan River to Lou and EugenieMarron, a husband and wife team whose record-setting swordfish catches in the late 1950s remain unbeaten today. Exploits <strong>of</strong> <strong>Brielle</strong> anglers are recorded in fishing journals and sporting magazines from coast to coast.<br />
