Hook & Fin Fishing Charters

Member since March 2019 Middletown Township, United States

Background: I've been an avid fisherman since childhood, and I have over 20 years of experience in inshore and offshore fishing, as well as on the Great Lakes. I started running trips 4 years ago when I acquired my 50-Ton Master Captain's License. I enjoy meeting people and getting them hooked up on fishing! My favorite catches include Blackfish, Fluke, Black Seabass, and anything else willing to take the bait.
Techniques: Trolling is my specialty along with bottom fishing.

Larger fish starting to move in

Aug 7, 2026 Middletown Township

Larger fish are finally starting to show up. We’ve had good numbers, but now we’re starting to see better quality.

Great weather coming…

Nov 17, 2025 Middletown Township

Finally the winds are going to lay down. Wednesday to Friday looks good to go!!! I will post conditions upcoming.

Now is the time!

Stripers are in thick right now. Excellent time to book a trip!

Excellent striped bass action

May 27, 2024 Middletown Township

Managed to get out in the fog this morning and found some really big fish. After the outgoing tide was running hard, the fish turned on near some large schools of bait.

Limited on keepers!!

Nov 10, 2023 Middletown Township

This was one of the successful trips this weekend. Getting on fish minutes from the dock keeping evey one busy. Book your trip! The fishing is hot!

21”+ Fluke

May 31, 2023 Middletown Township

Fluke fishing in Raritan bay was spotty at best with the anglers raising this awesome keeper.

This was an unforgettable experience for my family and has now made fishers out of all of us. I’ll be buying my first fishing pole soon. Captain Steve is THE best. He is kind, fun, communicative, and knowledgeable. Highly recomend!!

While we did not catch any fish, we had a great day. The crew went above and beyond but really nobody caught anything from what we could see. Great boat too.
