Flounder fishing can be tough with the strict limits in NJ. If you need fish for dinner try looking for a boat that will target a different species.

Check tides and weather before booking your trip and ask guides what the best times for fishing are, especially when fishing in the bay.

It’s fishing… not catching.
There are great species out there, not always the ones you are targeting,
But if you are lucky enough to be on the water… you’re lucky enough!

Talk to a Captain and see what is best for time of year and what you want to experience.

Fishing in the bay is great for anyone that may be prone to motion or sea sickness.
Very calm waters and a really great time.
Beautiful scenery and wildlife.

Definitely use Captain Scott. We had a bunch of first timers and he pit everyone at ease. Also involved us in all parts of fishing (not just catching fish). Great with kids!

Phil Keppel
Expect a great time! He’s a great Capt with a lot of good stories and he’s very relatable!! A genuine person!

Make sure you take your motion sickness pills before you go LOL but most importantly just having a good time

The weather pattern for the whole east coast has things a little behind. Do some research and pick a time that will be optimal for the species you are targeting.
