The Coast Guard responded to a call at 6:50 p.m. reporting three men had slipped into the water. They sent a helicopter to the scene and rescued the three fishermen, said Annmarie Gorden, Coast Guard spokeswoman.
The men were then sent to Southern Ocean County Hospital in Manahawkin, where they were recovering tonight.
