Sandy Hook Striped Bass Fishing Charters

If you're a fan of inshore fishing, this is the trip for you! You'll spend the morning fishing inside the Raritan Bay for a variety of species. No need to worry about gear, bait, or lures – your captain has you covered. Feel free to bring any drinks and snacks you'd like. Later departure times are available upon request.

The Striped Bass run starts in early April and continues until late June or early July. They return for the fantastic fall run in mid-October. Additionally, you can chase Bluefish to 20 lb, Fluke (Flounder), Sea Bass, and Porgy through the summer.

This is a private charter for up to 20 people. Boat leave dock at 7 am returns at 2pm. Tip for mates not included in charter price.

Starting at 7:00 a.m., you'll head out to fish for what is in season. Expect to encounter Fluke, Seabass, as well as Porgy. In the spring and fall, you can also target Striper. This trip comes with bait, rods, and fish cleaning. A 20% tip is added to the total price on the boat for the mates.

You and the captain will leave at 6:00 a.m. in order to be first out on the grounds. We will troll, jig, liveline, and throw spoons or plugs to put fish in the box. We provide all the gear, so just bring your food and drinks. A 20 percent tip is customary (if satisfied of course).

The crew is prepared to jig chunk troll or cast at Striped Bass. A lot of times it's able to get the live bait and always has it on the ready as well. The main body of water you'll be fishing is the Raritan Bay, a place of some of the best Striped Bass fishing in the world. What the crew thrives on is the possibility of being able to target the same species of fish but in multiple different ways. Your crew will give you the best experience it can!

You'll be staying inshore and have an action-packed time trying to catch fierce Bluefin, Bigeye, as well as Albacore Tuna. Starting the trip at 3:00 a.m., you and the crew will spend 8 exciting hours on the water battling these powerful creatures.
