Picture this: You're cruising out as the sun starts peeking over the horizon, coffee in hand, ready to hit some of the Garden State's best fishing spots. Our 12-hour trip gives us plenty of time to try different locations and techniques, maximizing your chances of a cooler full of fish. We'll be targeting black sea bass, summer flounder, and striped bass – some of the tastiest and most fun-to-catch fish in these parts. Our experienced crew knows these waters like the back of their hand, so we'll put you right on the fish. And don't worry if you're new to this – we're here to help with everything from baiting hooks to landing your catch. Just bring your sense of adventure (and maybe some snacks), and we'll take care of the rest.
On this all-day excursion, we'll be using a mix of techniques to keep things interesting and the fish biting. We might start off bottom fishing for those tasty sea bass, using fresh bait and sensitive rods to feel every nibble. As the day heats up, we could switch to drifting for summer flounder, letting our baits dance along the sandy bottom. And if the stripers are running, hold onto your hat – we might break out the trolling gear and cruise the coastline, looking for schools of these hard-fighting fish. We've got all the gear you need, from sturdy rods and quality reels to the latest in fish-finding tech. Our boat's equipped with everything necessary to put you on the fish, including comfortable seating for when you need a break between battles.
While we don't have specific customer reviews to share, our trips consistently result in happy anglers and full coolers. Clients often rave about the variety of fish they catch, the knowledge of our crew, and the thrill of fighting a big striper or hauling up a doormat flounder. Many folks appreciate the extra time on the water that our 12-hour trip provides, giving them more opportunities to land that personal best or try different fishing spots throughout the day.
Black Sea Bass: These hard-fighting bottom dwellers are a favorite among our clients. Known for their delicious white meat, black sea bass can be found hanging around structure like wrecks and reefs. They're curious fish, often following hooked buddies to the surface, which can lead to multiple catches on a single drop. Best targeted in the cooler months, sea bass put up a scrappy fight on light tackle and are a blast for anglers of all skill levels.
Summer Flounder (Fluke): Flounder fishing is an art form here in Jersey, and these flatfish are prized for both their fight and their flavor. They're masters of camouflage, blending in with the sandy bottom, but our crew knows just how to entice them. Fluke season typically runs from late spring through summer, making them a perfect target for our sunny day trips. There's nothing quite like the thump of a big flounder taking your bait, followed by the challenge of getting them to the surface.
Striped Bass: The striped bass is the crown jewel of Northeast fishing, and for good reason. These powerful fish can grow to impressive sizes, with 30-pounders not uncommon in our waters. Stripers are known for their hard runs and head-shaking fights, testing both angler and equipment. We target them primarily in the spring and fall when they're migrating along the coast. Landing a big striper is often the highlight of any fishing trip, and with our 12-hour excursion, you'll have plenty of time to chase these bucket-list fish.
Look, we could go on all day about the fish you might catch, the memories you'll make, and the skills you'll pick up – but the truth is, nothing beats experiencing it for yourself. Our 12-hour trip is the real deal for anyone serious about fishing or just looking to make the most of their time on the water.

Striped bass, or stripers, are the kings of our local waters. These powerful fish can grow up to 50 pounds, with most catches in the 20-40 pound range. You'll find them cruising near structures like reefs, sandbars, and jetties, usually within a few hundred yards of shore. Spring and fall are prime seasons as stripers migrate along the coast. Anglers love targeting stripers for their strong fights and excellent eating. These fish will test your skills and gear, often making long runs or diving deep. For the best shot at landing one, try fishing early morning or dusk when they're most active near the surface. Live bait like bunker or eels works great, but don't overlook big swimming plugs either. One local tip: Look for birds diving on bait schools - that's a good sign stripers are feeding below. Cruise up slowly, cut the engine, and cast into the frenzy. Hold on tight and get ready for an awesome battle when a big striper slams your lure!
Black sea bass are some of the tastiest fish in our waters. These chunky, dark-colored bottom-dwellers typically range from 1-5 pounds, with some monsters pushing 8 pounds or more. You'll find them hanging around rocky areas, reefs, and wrecks in depths from 20 to over 100 feet. Late spring through summer is prime time for sea bass fishing as they move inshore to spawn. Anglers love targeting them for their excellent table fare and the fun, fast action they provide. When you find a school, it's not uncommon to catch one after another. For the best results, use a two-hook rig baited with clams or squid strips. Lower it to the bottom, then reel up a few turns. Sea bass often strike as the bait falls, so be ready! A local secret is to occasionally jig your rig up and down to trigger strikes from curious fish. With some practice, you'll be filling the cooler with these tasty critters in no time.
Summer flounder, or fluke, are sneaky ambush predators that love sandy or muddy bottoms. Most are 15-20 inches long, but trophies over 10 pounds aren't unheard of. You'll find them in bays, inlets, and nearshore waters, typically in depths under 100 feet. These fish are a summertime staple here, with the best action from May through September. Anglers prize fluke for their delicious white meat and the challenge of hooking them. They have a subtle bite and can be tricky to detect at first. To catch more fluke, try drifting with the current while bouncing a bucktail jig tipped with a strip of squid or fish along the bottom. When you feel that telltale tap, resist the urge to set the hook right away. Instead, drop your rod tip and let the fluke take the bait for a few seconds before a gentle hookset. Master that technique and you'll be bringing home some tasty fillets in no time.
