Let Hook & Fin Fishing Charters take you out for a fun and productive fishing trip around Sandy Hook. With an experienced guide at the helm and prolific waters, you can’t really go wrong – all you have to do is choose what you’d like to catch.
Your captain offers specialized expeditions for some of the favorite local species, so you can chase Blackfish (Tautog), wrestle Striped Bass, and look for Black Seabass on the nearby reefs. Of course, these are not the only fish you can catch here, not by a long shot – Bluefish, Atlantic Salmon, Flounder (Fluke), Bonito, and many more are in the cards.
The boat that will be your ride and fishing platform is a 27’ cuddy cabin, rigged with a 300 HP Mercruiser engine, that will take you to the best spots quickly and safely. Up to 4 anglers can be on a trip and they’ll have plenty of room to fish at the same time. There’s a private toilet on board, so you’ll travel in full comfort.
When it comes to your fishing gear, you’ll be using quality Okuma, Shimano, and Penn tackle, but you’re welcome to bring your own equipment if you’d like. There’s a variety of techniques you can try out and hone, depending on what you’re targeting and how much experience you have.
All you should think about before the trip is getting a fishing license and dressing in layers to avoid the cold. Make sure you’re wearing non-marking shoes and have your raingear at hand, just in case.
The Captain will provide water, and you can bring your food and drinks as well. Alcohol is not allowed on board, except for beer or seltzers. Children who are 8 and older can join you on the trip, there are life jackets on the boat for all ages.
Please note that tipping the first mate is customary. Usually, this amount is around 20%.

Captain Steve was informative, helpful and provided us with a great experience. When we dropped our lines for the first cast, we all came up with fish. He knew right where to go for a great fishing and boating experience. We would highly recommend this charter.
