Atlantic Highlands, Sandy Hook, Raritan Bay Party Boat Fishing Aboard Captain Ron's Fishermen

Fishing from Atlantic Highlands and the Sandy Hook Area offers us the best of both worlds, The Ocean and the Bay!

We primarily fish the ocean, rocks, wrecks, reefs and open bottom. But on those days where it's questionable, we have the calm sheltered waters of SandyCapt. Ron Santee hook and Raritan Bay. Lot's of spots to choose from. Atlantic Highlands is centrally located at the shore, in the middle of the state. Easy access for customers from NY, PA, Northern and Southern NJ.

Most Raritan Bay and Sandy Hook Fish species we target actually migrate to this area to spawn and spend the summer months, less time riding and more time fishing for our customers!!!

Season starts April 1 fishing for Striped Bass.

Stripers are one of the most exciting fish out there. The average size is 24 to 48 inches or 5 to 25 pounds! Along with being the best looking fish and a good fighter, they also taste great.

We fish till the end of June then switch to Fluke fishing for the Summer months.

Fluke (or Summer Flounder) are bottom dwellers. We fish several areas for Fluke, depending on the time of season. The Bay, Ocean, Channels, nothing is out of our reach. The average size Fluke for our area run 14 to 20 inches,1 to 5 pounds. However, several fish each season are caught  between 10 and 14 pounds! Fluke are a challenge to catch, that’s what keeps customers coming back.

Weak Fishing (Sea Trout) season normally runs from the end of September into October. 2005 was one of the better years in a long time. Weakfish are a perfect light tackle fish and range from 14 inches to 12 pounds. Live Worms and Artificial lures make this fishery very exciting.

We finish up the season with our Fall Striper run. Normally from the last week in October through Christmas (weather permitting). Jigging between the channels, in the bay or down the beach, this is probably the most exciting time of year. Fish are migrating for the winter and are normally very hungry.............If you haven’t fished with us before, give us a try, you won’t be disappointed.

Thank you! Capt. Ron Santee

Captain Ron's Latest Fishing Report

Hard to beleave another season has come and gone! As life flashes before my eyes, I have many fond memories of 2011...... I had the pleasure of seeing the return of Mr. Paul Smitko who, after facing death, 12 major surgeries (give or take), countless hours of therapy and god knows what else, Finally come back to fishing and catch Striped Bass, caught him on video just last week and the smile was priceless!! It said it all....

Mike with his great Season Pool winning Fluke, Vintastic with that awesome winning Bass in the Spring and Jack with his 25 pounder taking the Fall pool.

That young man catching his 42 pound plus Striper all by himself caught on video. Youngster Kevin Dalton with a Fluke so big he had to stand on a cooler to take the picture of it and all you can see of kevin is his head!!  Kelly Bavaqua who after one lesson on how to cast a spinning rod, was launching the jig back to the dock and catching stripers!!

 

The Monday regs paying their dues all season long and always being rewarded sooner or later....perseverance boys, always pays off.

Chief Kelly, Never quit Eddie, Polish Eddie, Dr. Sal, June, Richie, Tommy, Skinder, Steve and Steve, Shrimpman, Eric, Rocco, John Frolic, The countless others (you know who you are) who all share that same passion, I can't thank you enough and I'm glad we can enjoy this great ride together. Every one of you make me who I am!

A Very Happy and Healthy New Year to All...till our paths meet again. All the best from Myself, Capt. Ron Sr., Robbie, Chris and Capt. Bob
