On this trip, we'll use a mix of techniques to maximize your chances of landing a big one.

As the day progresses, we might switch to drift fishing for Summer Flounder, letting our lines dance along the sandy bottom.

Black Sea Bass: These hard-fighting fish are a favorite among our anglers. They're known for their delicious white meat and can be found hanging around structures like wrecks and reefs. Black Sea Bass typically range from 1 to 5 pounds, but larger specimens aren't uncommon. They're most active in the warmer months, making them a perfect target for our summer charters.
Summer Flounder (Fluke): Don't let their flat appearance fool you – these fish put up a great fight! Summer Flounder are masters of camouflage, blending in with the sandy bottom. They're typically caught from spring through early fall, with peak season in the summer months. Anglers love targeting these fish not just for the sport, but also for their sweet, delicate flavor. A good-sized fluke can easily reach 2 to 5 pounds, with trophy fish pushing past 10 pounds.
Striped Bass: The crown jewel of East Coast fishing, Striped Bass (or "Stripers") are one of the most sought-after gamefish in New Jersey waters. These powerful fish can grow to impressive sizes, with some monsters topping 50 pounds! Stripers are known for their hard runs and acrobatic fights, making them a thrill to catch. 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.
This year has been fantastic for fishing off the Jersey shore. We've seen some monster Striped Bass coming aboard, with several fish in the 30 to 40-pound range. The Black Sea Bass action has been hot, with many anglers hitting their limits and bringing home coolers full of these tasty fish. Fluke fishing has also been productive, with some doormat-sized flatties being caught regularly. Remember, fishing can be unpredictable, but that's part of the fun – you never know what you might reel in next!

These plump-bodied grouper relatives are a favorite target off the Jersey shore. You'll find them hanging around structure like jetties, wrecks, and reefs in depths up to 120 feet. They typically run 2-4 pounds but can reach 8+. Black sea bass put up a solid fight, especially the bigger males found in deeper water. Spring through fall is prime time, with late spring to summer being the peak season as they move inshore. Anglers love 'em for their tasty white meat. To increase your odds, try a two-hook rig with squid strips or live bait near bottom structure. Keep an eye on your line - their bite can be subtle. These fish change sex as they grow, with large males developing a blue hump on their heads during spawning season. It's always cool to see those big blue bruisers come over the rail.
Striped bass, or stripers, are the crown jewel of Jersey shore fishing. These powerful fish can top 50 pounds, with most keepers in the 20-40 pound range. Look for them around structure and in moving water, especially near shore during dawn and dusk. Spring and fall migrations offer prime action as they follow bait schools up and down the coast. Stripers put up an epic fight and taste great on the table - it's no wonder anglers go nuts for 'em. They'll hit live bait like bunker or eels, but there's nothing like the thrill of a big bass blowing up on a topwater plug. For consistent action, find the bait and you'll find the bass. Watch for birds working the water - that's often a dead giveaway stripers are feeding below. These fish can be finicky, so match your presentation to what they're eating for best results.
Summer flounder, or fluke, are masters of camouflage with both eyes on their left side. You'll find these flatfish on sandy or muddy bottoms in bays, estuaries, and coastal waters. Most run 15-20 inches, but trophy fish over 20 pounds aren't unheard of. They're ambush predators, lying in wait to snatch up smaller fish and crustaceans. Fall is prime time as they congregate to spawn, but you can target them spring through fall. Anglers love the challenge - they're not called "chameleons of the sea" for nothing. Their sweet, flaky meat makes great table fare too. For best results, try drifting or slow-trolling with live bait like minnows or mullet. A circle hook through the eye of your bait fish will up your hook-up ratio. Keep your line tight and be ready for that telltale thump when a fluke strikes.
