Fresh Fishing Reports from Ocean Township

22 1/2
22 1/2" Summer Flounder
September 1, 2025
Thanks to Jose A. and his family for joining us on their fishing charter on Labor Day 2025. They decided to fish the 5 Hour NJ Private Group Fishing Charter. With 5โ€™ heavy seas from it blowing 10 knots to 20 knots Northeast and East Northeast winds from Sunday to Monday, limited us to fishing inside today in Barnegat Inlet and along Oyster Creek and Double Creek in the Barnegat Bay. Fishing was steady throughout the 5 hour fishing charter, even though we were constantly jockeying for position with all the other boats. Everyone was very close to each other in the inlet along the deep drop off point alongside of the Barnegat Light House on Long Beach Island. On most drifts, because of the wind and the incoming tide, we were able to start our drifts at Island Beach State Park red can and drift passed the lighthouse to the United States Coast Guard Station at Barnegat Light. This allowed us to fish the entire structures and depths along the lighthouse. They landed 19 Flukes which were caught and released; all (4) black seabass were also caught and released. They ended up with (2) keepers to go home with, a very nice 22 ยฝโ€ Summer Flounder doormat, and one at 18+โ€. Top angler on this Fishing Charter was using Green Buck Tails, with spinner, along with sand eels to catch her 22โ€ Summer Flounder. Second place angler was using white and pink squid skirt with a spinning orange and yellow float, along with spearing. Third place angler was using a 4โ€ squid body with spinner along with Baby Shads. With Labor Day being on Monday September 1, 2025, Black Sea Bass Season closed this past weekend on Sunday August 31, 2025, and will not reopen until October 01, 2025.
