5lb Weak fish caught on our Open Shared

Our client made a special request and wanted to try for Stripers in the morning before finishing up with Flounder. We marked a lot of Striped Bass for the entire time during the morning. Unfortunately, even though we were marking them consistently on the screen and the birds were picking at sand eels on top of the water, the striped bass were not into biting anything, while we were trolling umbrella rigs with eels and shads or jigging for them with Flutter Spoons or Tsunami Shads. After trying for Stripers, and we did get into some Summer Flounders along the beach, to finish the private charter. During this Private Charter water temps were still around 60 degrees. As the water temps keep warming up, so will the fishing. If you would like to target Striped Bass during your private Summer Flounder, please reach out to us prior to the trip, so that we may bring the appropriate additional fishing gear to attempt to target them. There is still a small window during this spring be the continue up with their migration up north for the summer.

We had a good day on the striper grounds. On our open shared fishing charter, we limited out on slot striped bass. With the larger head boats calling it a season finale for fishing for striped bass. This upcoming week maybe our last week of fishing for the 2025 Season. Our scheduled last day of fishing is currently set for 12/15/2025, extended forecast is calling for extremely low temps and we will need the time to winterize the boat and begin preparing for the 2026 Fishing Season.
