5 Hour Trip – Spring Striped Bass • 6 adultsThanks Jerry and Timmy for a fantastic trip! I haven't fished with my bros together in years and we all had a wonderful day. The last minute heroics from Wyatt to land that trophy fish made it a very special day. Thanks for your help to ensure everyone was safe and sound boarding the boat. We truly appreciated that you gave us extra shots on goal with those extra drifts at the end..wish we all caught fish but that's fishing. Thanks for the great memories!!

5 Hour Trip – Spring Striped Bass • 6 adultsWe had a wonderful day on Teacher’s Pet. Jerry and Timmy were helpful, attentive, and informative. Even though conditions were looking to be less than ideal, Jerry was able to make it happen and took us to some great spots. We caught several Stripers and had an awesome day hanging out on the boat. Highly recommend!

5 Hour Trip – Bay Fluke Bottomfish • 6 adults • 3 childrenWe arrived at 7:00, boat was ready, left the dock and went out to the end of Sandy Hook where we fished for fluke. We caught fluke, plus blue fish, and threw back rays, croakers, and undersize fluke.
Response from CaptainMac thank you it was a very enjoyable day fishing with your family. I know it was a little tough on you having your wife out fish you. 😝. pleasure thanks again

What's biting with Teacher's Pet Sport Fishing in Highlands
As summer vacation draws to a close, the fish are none the wiser. Get out on the water when it's not as crowded and make the most of the incredible fishing, with plenty to choose from inshore and offshore.
