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

Captain Ron's Latest Fishing Report

FISHERMEN/BIG POOL FISH TODAY 7lbs 11 oz. Quality fish around the boat.

Lot's of current this morning to start the day, caught fish right away for those who had the heavier rods and could stay near the bottom. Had to leave the area when the drift went way past a knot.

Went searching, found life and waited for the current to back off, when it did the bite turned on!

Wade lead the way with 4 nice keepers including a beauty at 5lbs 1oz.  Mark Hrubic had the pool fish at 5lb 9oz, that is until Catskill John got slammed by another great fish weighing in at 7lbs 11oz's. John is the new Monthly pool leader.

Couple with their 3, some with 2 nice fish and a bunch of Sea Bass. Patience paid off today! Back at it in the AM.

7:30-2:30pm. Open Boat, No Reservations. Fare is $95, Rod Rentals $20. Bring a heavier rod just in case you need the weight!!!
