What a night of Striper fishing on the Raritan Bay. We left Keypot with a lite crowd. It was game on from start to finish with a boat limit of keeper and slot fish. Sailing Friday and Saturday at 6pm for Stripe Bass. Come on out and have great time with Capt Hartley and family.

WEEKEND REPORT (SAT PM, SUN PM)

SAT PM:

Got out and hustled to the grounds as we knew our shot to get the fish was right away as the tide was going to be slack at about 8. Picked away at the first spot boating a few fish, made a move to a new area and had fish on immediately. Multiple fish on at a time with fish flying over the rail. Unfortunately this only lasted 3 or 4 drifts and most of the fish were short. After that we picked a few on every drift and everywhere we went until it was time to head to the barn. Overall, good action. Mostly slots and shorts coming up with a mix of a couple keepers. Some jumbos were lost though.... they're still around for sure.

SUN PM:

Didn't quite expect much on the fishing side if I'm being completely honest with the conditions presented to us. 25mph winds out of the east and a strong outgoing tide only let us get a couple miles into the trip until Capt Justin decided it was safest to run for shelter in the river. Made a handful of drops in the nice calm river, read fish really well and picked a few here and there. Overall, for the conditions, NOT BAD! Certainly not what we'd hope for but we had to make due with what was dealt.

Wednesday is a new day and we'll be back at it AM AND PM trips. Book now

July 24th

Today's fluke fishing trip wasn't the best due to being rained out after taking the trip back out front. But regardless of the weather the ocean was like glass we didn't end up with our goal but we still got home with 3 fluke, 10 sea bass, and 2 ling, and a bunch of soaked fishermen. The daily pool winning fluke was 3.5 pounds but guess what, that's right he didn't enter the monthly pool for a chance at $540. We are bringing the big ones up so there is a very good chance anyone can win the monthly pool if they just enter.

July 21st Fluke Report

Took advantage of this beautiful weather today with a light crowd of great fishermen(and women) and took a ride offshore to do some exploring. Boy am I glad that we did. Not only was the fluking much better but we filled the cooler with seabass and some big slurps(ling) as well. Saw some quality fluke coming up today, along with countless 17 1/2in that went back for another day. We were close to a boat limit of sea bass as well. Everyone went home with some meat in the box. Definitely a great day on the water.

July 20th Magic Hour Fluke Report

Captain Victor had the boat out this beautiful evening with a light crowd. The conditions, on the other hand, were not so beautiful for fishing... straight wind against tide wherever we went. Made for tough fishing but the angels powered through. Made a run to a new area in protection from the wind and found a nice little pocket of fish. Mostly shorts but pulled 2 nice keeps out to save the night. Despite the lack of fish, it was still a great night on the water, a nice cool breeze, and a beautiful sunset.
