New Jersey Weather Forecast
Fishing reports straight from our guides in New Jersey
We did an offshore wreck trip for ling and did great! 27 per angler average with high hook close to 40. Other days we're catching some fluke and bluefish but its been inconsistent as the ocean is still on the chilly side but it should heat up soon!

Fishing has been up and down. Flounder are biting in the back bays and out in the ocean on the reefs. There are trigger fish holding over some of the wrecks too. Lots of little sea bass too. In the surf there are kingfish, spot, sand perch, weakies, rays, and sharks. So good options for lots of action.

> 🦈 **SHARK REPORT: Tuesday, June 16, 2026** 🦈
> We had Steve and Paul out today on the **Hallie Loren** for a dedicated shark trip. The ocean was absolutely beautiful, and the weather couldn’t have been more perfect.
> The action started with a big Thresher that rolled on the surface and made the reel scream! Unfortunately, shortly after the run, the main line parted way—clean break, almost like it was cut on something.
> Not long after, bite number two came a-knocking. It took a nice chunk of line but ended up spitting the hook before we could...

> The grand finale was a beautiful Mako. We watched it circle the slick for a while before it finally crashed the short line. We got it boat-side, used the dehooker for a clean, safe release, and watched it swim away strong.

The crazy good surf striper fishing continues along the NJ Cape! Soaking clams or bunker is yielding big striped bass, some nice sized bluefish, and pesky dog sharks and skates. Plugging the surf is hot! Lots of stripers to be had, and occasional mini blitzes of blues. With the cooler than normal water temperature the striped should stick around for awhile. Flounder fishing is fair, it would get better if the dirty water would clear up. And drum fishing in the Delaware Bay is finally heating up. Getting class to go out and play is the only issue.

]The beaches are giving up some really nice striped bass. They are hitting a variety of plugs, clams (fresh and salted), and bunker chunks. There are some black drum in the mix too.
The back bays are giving up good numbers of stripers too. And the flounder are pretty thick too. Looking forward to flounder season opening up!
I've been splitting time between the beaches and back bays and doing well. Lots of stripers from 20 to 40".

Started our 2026 season this past weekend. Friday was a tough day for us, only landing one fish despite some good readings. Saturday morning was a completely different story. Lock and load fishing all morning with fish being caught on jygprofishing chubbys, swyms, and plugs. Silly silly fishing well over 100 fish up to 28 pounds. We have availability coming up.
