Sandy Hook - Raritan Bay Fishing Charters | Just One More

The "Just One More" is a full time Sandy Hook & Raritan Bay Charter Boat taking out private parties of one to six anglers.

Starting in April and running into July we fish primarily for Striped Bass. Depending on the month we chum up the striped bass using clams for bait. As the waters warm, we switch over to chunking bunker and fishing live bunker.

Bluefish start to show up in Sandy Hook and Raritan Bays in very late April and early May. They always seem to be present on striped bass trips in May and June. Once the striped bass run slows down in early July, we fish for fluke, bluefish, and sea bass.

Trophy Doormat Fluke, fishing the deep waters with large baits and jigs.

Non stop action with slammer bluefish begins the same time and chumming off shore produces the best catches.

Late July and early August we start fishing for weakfish in the back bay using sand worms and artificials.

August, September, and early October we go a little farther offshore and chum up the false albacore and bonito. These little tunas are great fun on light tackle and fly rods.

The middle of September finds us pursuing the striped bass again. From casting to the working birds, to eeling deep channels, to trollling and any combination of the above.

By the middle of November, we start fishing for blackfish on the rock piles and artificial reefs.

We also offer "open boat trips" for the angler who cannot get a whole group together to charter themselves. Bring a family member or friend and you will be paired up with other fishermen with like interests in fishing. These trips always seem to produce a nice catch and new friends. Email us to get on the "open boat" list.

The "Just One More" always welcomes families and beginners alike. Professional instruction is given "on the job" in a relaxed atmosphere for those needing a pointer or two. You will always receive the best service. Welcome aboard, and looking forward to fishing with you in the future !

SANDY HOOK BAY 25 LB. STRIPED BASS 4/21/12

WELL........ HERE WE SIT ON AN OPEN BOAT SATURDAY BECAUSE NOBODY CALLED. IT IS BRIGHT AND SUNNY AND THE BAY IS MIRROR CALM. THE WORST THING ABOUT NO CALLS FOR TODAY IS YESTERDAY WAS OUR BEST FISHING DAY OF THE SEASON SO FAR !!! YESTERDAY WE HAD OUT THE DANIEL MALPELI CHARTER FROM NEW YORK CITY. GREAT STRIPED BASS FISHING. IT WAS ALSO ALMOST OUR FIRST FULL LIMIT OF THE SEASON BUT WE MISSED THAT BY ONLY ONE BASS FOR 5 PEOPLE. ALL THE FISH WERE HUGH AND JIM CAUGHT THE LARGEST STRIPED BASS OF HIS LIFE AND THIS SEASON AT 25 LBS. !! CONGRADULATIONS JIM !! THE FISHING WAS ALL IN SANDY HOOK BAY AND I THINK IT HAS BROKEN WIDE OPEN. WE ALSO RELEASED SOME SHORT BASS FOR SOME GREAT STEADY ACTION ALL DAY. I BELIEVE THE FISHING WOULD HAVE BEEN AS GOOD OR EVEN BETTER THAN YESTERDAY TODAY. OH WELL !!

ALL NEXT WEEK AND WEEKEND ARE AVAILABLE TO CHARTER. I WILL BE RUNNING ANOTHER OPEN BOAT TRIP SOMETIME DURING THE WEEK. WHEN CAN YOU GO, OR WHAT DO YOU THINK??

MAY 5, SATURDAY IS THE OPENING DAY OF THE NEW FLUKE SEASON. I HAVE ALREADY BEEN GETTING REPORTS OF THE FLUKE BEING IN BY COMMERCIAL DRAGGER FRIENDS. WHO WANTS TO GO FOR A FULL DAY OF FLUKE FISHING WITH THE NEW SMALLER SIZE LIMIT?? THIS YEAR THE FLUKE SIZE IS REDUCED TO 17.5 INCHES FROM 18 INCHES LAST SEASON. THAT WILL SURELY PUT MORE FLUKE IN THE BOX. HOW MANY 17.5" AND 17 3/4" FISH DID WE THROW BACK LAST SEASON. AND THE SEASON NOW RUNS TILL THE END OF FEBRUARY.

THANKYOU.
