    Good Day Out.

    3/4 Day Jumbo Fluke and Sea Bass3 adults

    Had a good time out on the boat. I caught around 8 fish, 3 black sea bass and 5 flatties. All of them were too small to keep, but I was happy to catch them anyway because the goal of the trip was not bringing home dinner, but that would have been nice. I will be back soon.

    Reported catch:
    Black Seabass
    Flounder

    Wonderful day on the water!

    3/4 Day Jumbo Fluke and Sea Bass3 adults1 child

    The boat was good size, clean, and fit everyone comfortably. Everyone caught fish in my party. Not all were the size needed to keep, but overall the entire boat was successful in getting fish. The crew were all exceptional. So helpful, kind, patient, and personable. 10/10 would recommend.

What's biting with Ocean Explorer Fishing in Belmar

The summer fishing frenzy is still going strong, with every major species biting hard both inshore and offshore. When the fishing's this good, the hardest part is deciding what to target!
