Fishing from Atlantic Highlands and the Sandy Hook Area offers us the best of both worlds, The Ocean and the Bay!
We primarily fish the ocean, rocks, wrecks, reefs and open bottom. But on those days where it's questionable, we have the calm sheltered waters of Sandy hook and Raritan Bay. Lot's of spots to choose from. Atlantic Highlands is centrally located at the shore, in the middle of the state. Easy access for customers from NY, PA, Northern and Southern NJ.
Most Raritan Bay and Sandy Hook Fish species we target actually migrate to this area to spawn and spend the summer months, less time riding and more time fishing for our customers!!!
Season starts in April fishing for Striped Bass.
Stripers are one of the most exciting fish out there. The average size is 24 to 48 inches or 5 to 40 pounds! Along with being the best looking fish and a good fighter, they also taste great.
We fish till Mid June then switch to Fluke fishing for the Summer months.
Fluke (or Summer Flounder) are bottom dwellers. We fish several areas for Fluke, depending on the time of season. The Bay, Ocean, Channels, nothing is out of our reach. The average size Fluke for our area run 14 to 30 inches,1 to 10 pounds. However, several fish each season are caught between 10 and 14 pounds! Fluke are a challenge to catch, that’s what keeps customers coming back.
We finish up the season with our Fall Striper run. Normally from the last week in October through Christmas (weather permitting). Jigging or Bait Fishing between the channels, in the bay or down the beach, this is probably the most exciting time of year. Fish are migrating for the winter and are normally very hungry.............If you haven’t fished with us before, give us a try, you won’t be disappointed.
Thank you! Capt. Ron Santee

Super Bass fishing today from start to finish.
Took the ride once again and we were blessed with a day most dream of! Had tremedous readings for over a mile on the machine and at times we had 8-10 fish on with 20 fish drifts most of the day. Some Big babies in the mix once again. Shads & NLBN's were the ticket.
Got to do a couple videos and some awesome pics in the gallery. Sadly the weather for tomorrow is going to crap, going to pace around the house like a wild animal not being back out there. Will post about Friday tomorrow, as of now it's looking iffy.
7:00AM Sailing. First Boat out, First Boat on the Meat! Fare is $90, Rod Rentals $20. Jigs & Shads for sale aboard.
