5 Hour Private Summer Flounder • 2 adultsCaught 8 species but highlight was brown shark, mako shark, dogfish head shark. Flounders were not of legal size but fun to see. We also caught all the skates you could ask for. Great time and would easily book again.

Steady action on the Barnegat Reef and i
Sep 5, 2026 • Ocean Township
We had steady action during our 4 hours AM open shared fishing charter. We were fishing out at the reef with little challenging current, which required to utilize our sea anchor while fishing the Barnegat Reef. Hi lo rigs were most productive today allowing us to catch 27 Summer Flounder during our fishing charter. We have open spots for this upcoming Tuesday AM Charter and open or private spots for Monday's, Labor Day Fishing Charter. Now is the time to get on a fishing charter, while the fishing is hot. Reserve your spot before heading back home or back to school. Contact us today and ask us about any Labor Day Specials that maybe available.

42" Cobia released during our Summer Flo
Aug 23, 2026 • Ocean Township
We had a very small fishing charter party on Sunday 08/23/2026, between the two of us we ended up releasing this 42" Cobia and in addition had 32 Summer Flounder, and croakers. The Cobia was caught on a 6" floating squid skirt tipped with squid strip and spearing. After 3 runs on very light tackle, we landed this beautiful 15lb fish, snapped a couple photos and released them back into the water to fight another day. With the rest of August and September coming up the end of Summer Flounder fishing should continue to be excellent as the Fluke begin their journeys out of the bays, heading offshore to their winter grounds. We look forward to having you aboard our fishing boat to create your own memorable moments.

Nonstop fishing during their 4-hour 1/2-
Aug 13, 2026 • Ocean Township
Thank you to John, Julia, and Giana for coming out and making memories during their fishing charter, while on their summer vacation while visiting LBI. They ended up between the 3 of them catching over 50 Summer Flounder. Giana end being the Queen of the boat beating out dad and her sister, catching over 25. The best setup for the day was a bucktail skirt with beads and a spinner, top with squid and spearing. We also caught some croakers, Sea Robins, and a couple Mackerel made an appearance during the charter. During our journey out to the fishing grounds, we stopped and got some pictures of the dolphins' pods chasing the bunker and sand eels along the beach.
