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/Here's the deal for the 1000 time!
Here we go again for the 2026 Fluke season!
If you listen and do what we tell you , you will catch fish, if not you will loose rigs get pissed off and probably never fish with me again.
We will be fishing rocky, sticky bottom, it's the only place we find the bites. The day's of fishing the sand and catching are over. A medium action rod that can hold 6-10 ounces of weight is ideal. You can use the noodle rods if you like to jig but be pre-paired.
Nobody caught more fish than my dad fishing with a heavy weight strait down and a crank or two off the bottom. Fluke eyes are on the top of the head as they are looking up to attack preditors swimming above on the edges of the pieces we fish. If you are 50 yards away from the boat, you are doomed, bring plenty of rigs. If you listen, you will catch.
Joe ties rigs all winter, it's gotta be the rig and they work, get them early when you arrive. Your chances of catching will greatly improve. I'm begging you guys, listen & learn, I haven't done this my whole life for nothing!! Let's do this....
