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/FRIDAYS AWESOME FISHING!

If today was the last day of Fluke fishing for 2026 with the weather that's coming, I can say we certainly went out with a bang!!

The area we have been fishing was dried up & scraped to death the past few days. Took a short ride to some deeper water and it was game on right from the start to finish. Shorts, Keepers and beautiful Sea Bass for some all day long action.

John Froelic was high hook with 8 fish, bunch of customers with 4 or more including: Bill V. who also took the pool with a nice 5lb 9oz fish, Super Dave, Big Tom, Dave B, Cody and All day Long Ray!!

Now the bad news. With the hard NE winds for the next several days, not even the big boy pants can help us deal with that. Chance are like in past years the fish will move off. Will cross that bridge in a few days and post an update when we can see a clear schedule.

From Myself, Joey, Robbie & Tuna, Thank you to everyone who supported us this summer, you guys & gals are the best!! Now, let's get ready to kick some bass after a bit of Sea Bass & bottom fishing!!
