Atlantic Highlands, Sandy Hook, Raritan Bay Party Boat Fishing
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 Sandy
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 the area to spawn and spend the summer months, less time riding and more time fishing for our customers!!!
Season starts in April fishing for Fluke & Sea Bass.
We fish for Fluke from May 4th (the opener) until May 15th when Sea Bass opens.
We fish till Mid June with the Sea bass then switch to Fluke fishing full time 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 30 inches,1 to 10 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.
Striped Bass
We finish up the season with our Fall Striper run. Normally from the last week in October through Christmas (weather permitting). Jigging or Bait Fishing 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

FISHERMEN/TUESDAYS FLUKE FISHING
Headed out with a nice crew for a holiday weekday. Had the last of the tide like yesterday and slugged away on the short fish. Just a couple keepers as the bigger fish didn't get the memo today.
Worked several area's as the south wind came up early, the current ran hard to the SE and 10 ounces couldn't hold even with the wind against the tide.
Very sad to see the huge factory ships (Bunker boats) working inshore.
The bunkers that are left are small and really not that plenty-full, the last of the forage fish, when they are gone will see the end of what we used to call fishing. Back at it in the AM.
7:30-2:30pm. Open Boat, No Reservations Fare is $95, under 12 $50.
