There's a fish with your name on it in Island Park and Cast Net Charters will help you catch it! Your guide for the day is Captain Ryan, which means you'll tap into years of local experience.

Depending on the season, you might hook into Flounder (Fluke), Black Seabass, Striped Bass, Bluefish, and anything else that bites. For these species, you're likely to drift and bottom fish using light tackle. For Striped Bass Season, typically during the fall run, top water plastics and live lining Bunker will be the plan of action and would be included on those trips.

Looking to get the whole family outdoors? Kids are absolutely welcome! Be sure to let the Captain know the ages and weights of any small children coming aboard so the Captain can make sure the proper life jackets are available for use. Don't forget to bring snacks to keep their stamina going!

You'll be fishing aboard a 25' Pursuit 2550 center console with a recommended capacity for up to 4 anglers comfortably (Licensed for 6 Passengers Max). It has everything you need for a productive day on the water. There is a port-a-potty onboard for emergencies however it is recommended to take care of any business prior to boarding. Rods, reels, and tackle are covered by the charter, along with lures but feel free to bring your own equipment if that's your preference. Live bait and gulp style plastics will also be made available and are included in the price.

The boat covers the fishing license, just show up ready for a good time! Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.

It's never a bad idea to bring sunscreen (non-spray), and sunglasses, or rain gear if the weather calls for it. Bottled water will be available for you. Alcohol is BYO and allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor, glass bottles are prohibited.

Now and then the fish might get away, but a day on the water never should. Time to make it happen, with Cast Net Charters

Fluke Fishing
4HR Fluke Fishing – Bay Trip on July 26, 2026

We had a great time on our fluke fishing charter! The captain was excellent—friendly, patient, and especially helpful with my three young boys, who were excited to fish. He took the time to help them, kept them engaged, and made the experience fun for everyone. We caught fish, made great memories, and would definitely recommend this charter to families! The fishing was outstanding, with plenty of action throughout the trip. We caught a lot of fish, which kept everyone excited from start to finish and made for an unforgettable day on the water.

Flounder

Real catches by this captain

  • Adult angler holding a large snook aboard a fishing boat, with rods and open-water scenery in the background.

    Striped Bass
    Headed out solo to do some Striped Bass scouting. After securing some live bait from a rather quiet ocean I came back inside and drifted the bait through some structures in the area and after only two drifts managed to catch and release this nice 33” Striped Bass. Drifting live bait through different types of structures is only one of many tactics utilized for Striper Fishing and proves to be very effective. As the Fall run heats up many boats will have one hookup after the other using these methods and others. Its time to get out there and put those reels to the test!
  • A variety of fish, including small mackerel and snapper, laid out on a dock's fillet table, ready for cleaning after a successful fishing trip.

    Little Tunny (False Albacore)
    What started out as an uncertain weather scenario turned out to be an exciting action filled morning. The crew of 4 ended up with a “I lost count” situation with blue fish, weakfish, fluke, bonito, and sea robins. We ended up keeping 8 bluefish, 2 bonito, and a rather large sea robin in just a few hours and the boys couldn’t have been happier. Great trip all around!

    Decided to check out some intel that a fellow captain shared with me on a down day. First we netted some live bait in the canal to give us the best odds of some bigger fish. Next we headed out to the reefs just a few miles off shore. We poked around the area scanning with the sonar and found a ton of life. After setting up the drift we had 3 nice keeper fluke, 20-22-23’. Had to head back early due to an incoming storm but what a great day, sometimes things just line up nicely. Made fried fish tacos and ceviche. This could be you!
  • Young angler holding a long shark aboard a boat in calm coastal waters, with fishing rods and a life jacket visible.

    The peak of summer is here and now is the time to get out on the water. Today’s crew chose the 4HR Fluke Trip in the bay, landed 1 Keeper Fluke just under 20” and reeled up approximately 17 Shorts. Also had a few dog fish and sea robins in the mix. All and all a great day bending rods and putting a little meat in the cooler. Hope to see you all out there!
