About Your Trip

Looking for an unforgettable fishing experience on the scenic waters of Sandy Hook and Raritan Bay? Join us for a thrilling 6-hour adventure where we’ll target the mighty Striped Bass, a local favorite known for its aggressive strikes and powerful runs! Whether you’re a seasoned angler or a first-timer, this trip is designed to offer an exciting challenge and a fun day on the water for everyone.

We’ll start the day at the dock in Highlands, NJ, where you’ll step aboard a spacious 50' Chesapeake Bay deadrise cruiser, equipped with all the comforts you’ll need. This beauty isn’t just roomy – she’s powered by twin Caterpillar engines with 840 HP combined, giving us the speed and agility to reach prime fishing grounds quickly. With plenty of space for up to 15 guests, this trip is perfect for large groups, families, or even solo anglers looking to get in on the action.

Once on board, we’ll head out to the calm and fish-rich waters of Sandy Hook Bay and Raritan Bay. These areas are prime feeding grounds for Striped Bass, especially during the spring and fall migrations when these fish come in large numbers. Using techniques like trolling and live bait fishing, we’ll put you on the fish, giving you the best chance to hook into a trophy-sized Striper. There’s nothing quite like the thrill of feeling that first hard tug, followed by the powerful fight these fish put up!

Our experienced crew will be with you every step of the way, offering tips, handling the gear, and ensuring you have an awesome time. You won’t need to worry about bringing any tackle – we’ve got everything covered, from rods and reels to bait and lures. All you need to do is bring your own food and drinks for the day, and we’ll take care of the rest, including cleaning and filleting any catch you decide to keep!

So, whether you're looking to spend quality time with friends or family, or simply want to escape the hustle and bustle for a day of fishing, this Striped Bass trip offers a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure. Book now, and let’s make some lasting memories on the beautiful waters of New Jersey!

Chad and his crew were incredible, highly communication, well prepared and most importantly, knew where to catch fish. They were super patient with my group when there was an inevitable snag or tangle. Would definitely book with Chad again.
