Fishing, crabbing, and clamming in the local bays and waterways have been a part of my life for nearly five decades, starting from the time I was old enough to walk. At age 13, I began navigating our 15-foot Boston Whaler, and today, I handle a 21-foot Sailfish center console. My fishing season kicks off in the spring with striped bass and tog, followed by flounder once May arrives. During the warmer summer months, I venture beyond the bay to nearby reef locations to target both flounder and sea bass when they are running. When schools of bunker appear, I enjoy snagging and dropping lines for sharks and cobia. As temperatures drop, it's back to chasing striped bass, with trips planned around the tides. Migratory fish usually show up in December, so bundle up and get ready for some exciting catches. Your guide can adapt the starting point to suit your preferences.
Our family had an incredible fishing outing with Jeff. With our 7-year-old granddaughter joining, Jeff’s attentiveness in helping her with her fishing rod and making sure she got to see her catches up close made the trip unforgettable for her. We landed six flounder along with various other fish species. Jeff was excellent in communicating and arranging the trip to align with the best fishing conditions. I highly recommend him for a personalized fishing adventure. Jeff truly delivered an enjoyable morning of flounder fishing! Thanks again, Richard. Looking forward to fishing with you all next summer.
