Hook & Fin Fishing Charters

Middletown Township, United States
50+ reviews
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.

    Wonderful experience for first-time fishers

    1/2 Day Striped Bass Trip (AM) • 4 adults

    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.

    Such a fun trip! We went looking for stripers but when they weren’t around we switched up and caught a bunch of black bass which was super fun and captain made the whole experience really relaxing and fun. Very patient and helpful, a great guide and teacher.

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.
