Best fishing day I've had
Half Day - Fluke / Flounder on May 29, 20261 adult

I went out with Joe for a half-day charter and I learned so much about Fluke fishing and we had a great time. It felt like fishing with an old friend and I appreciate that. We also caught more fish than I have caught on a single day in my life. Of course, this cannot alway be promised and some days are better than others, but Joe really knew his stuff about the fish and their habits and you can tell that fishing is a huge passion of his. Also, the law pulled up on us at the end of the day and checked our papers and he said the other boats on the river were getting skunked all day but we had our limit in the live well. I have already recommended Joe and Chasing Tails Charters to a few friends and I'm excited to get back out on the water once I'm back in NJ. Thank you, Joe!

Fun day of Fishing
Half Day Trip – Striped Bass (AM) on October 20, 20241 adult1 child

We met Captain Joseph just before dawn on the Raritan River. We had a lovely morning on the Raritan Bay trolling for stripers. After landing 3 nice fish, we headed into the Raritan River and tried our luck casting for stripers. It was great to utilize different techniques and locations in one trip.
