Flounder fishing in New Jersey, United States draws anglers to shallow bays, inlets, and nearshore reefs. You can target hard-fighting Summer Flounder, also called Fluke, and tasty Winter Flounder. These Flatfish love sandy bottoms, tidal edges, and channel drop-offs along the Jersey Shore.

Most captains focus on inshore fishing with light tackle and bottom fishing. Drifting bucktail jigs tipped with squid or spearing is a top tactic. Fish finder rigs, which slide the sinker so the bait moves naturally, also work well with live minnows or strip baits.

Charter trips are usually half day or full day, with short rides to the grounds. Calm back-bay waters make this great for families, beginners, and kids. Bring sun protection, a hat, soft-soled shoes, snacks, and any motion-sickness meds you prefer. The crew provides tackle, bait, and helpful tips on feel-the-bite techniques.

New Jersey offers prime areas from Sandy Hook and Raritan Bay down through Barnegat Bay, Great Bay, and Absecon Inlet. Farther south, Delaware Bay and the Cape May reef sites hold quality fish, especially around wrecks, reefs, and channel edges. Each area fishes best on moving tides and clean water.

Before you go, check current New Jersey fishing rules for licenses, permits, open seasons, and harvest limits. Regulations for Summer Flounder and Winter Flounder change often, and many charters help you stay compliant. When in doubt, ask your captain and plan to release fish safely if needed.
