Atlantic Highlands, Sandy Hook, Raritan Bay Party Boat Fishing

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 the area to spawn and spend the summer months, less time riding and more time fishing for our customers!!!

Season starts in April fishing for Fluke & Sea Bass.

We fish for Fluke from May 4th (the opener) until May 15th when Sea Bass opens. 

We fish till Mid June with the Sea bass then switch to Fluke fishing full time 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.

Striped Bass

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

FISHERMEN/MONDAYS ALL DAY BITE!!!

Caught it right again this morning with the end & change of tide....

We were on the meat right off the bat! Big fish up to 38 lbs, slot fish finally going in the box. Bait was the ticket once again.

Bring a snag and a bait rig folks i've been posting it now for a couple of weeks. I hate the deer in the headlights look when a customer is not prepared especially when you tell me you read my reports!! Starting to think some just look at the videos & pics. 

The crew can only snag so many bunker between netting and taking care of everyone on the boat. The jig bite should pick up very soon once these fish hit the ocean. But right now, it's game on for a bunch of personal best's the past couple of days.

Not as snotty as yesterday as the weatherman got it wrong, kept a alot of customers home. Back at it in the AM, don't miss the bite!!!!

7:00am-2:30pm First boat out. Open Boat, No Reservations. Fare is $100, Rod Rental $20.

See you in the morning,

Capt. Ron
