Looking for a fishing trip that delivers variety and action? Ajax Charters' Bass + Flounder combo is exactly what you need. This top-rated inshore experience gives you the best of both worlds – the hard-fighting power of striped bass and the light-tackle fun of winter flounder. Perfect for families or groups of up to 4 anglers, this trip combines two completely different fishing styles in one memorable day on the water. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just getting started, our captain has you covered with everything you need to land these prized catches.
Your combo fishing adventure starts with targeting winter flounder using light tackle that even kids can handle with ease. These bottom-dwellers are perfect for getting everyone on the boat involved, making this a customer favorite for family outings. After working the flats and channels for flounder, we'll shift gears and go after striped bass – the renowned silvery fighters that have built their reputation on both sport fishing quality and dinner table appeal. The beauty of this combo trip is the contrast: you'll experience the finesse fishing of flounder in the morning, then feel the adrenaline rush when a striper takes your bait. Our captain knows the local waters like the back of his hand and will position you over the most productive spots for both species.
For flounder, we'll use light spinning tackle with simple bottom rigs – perfect for feeling every nibble and bump. The technique is straightforward but effective: small hooks baited with local favorites like squid strips or marine worms, fished right on the bottom where these flatfish feed. When we switch to striped bass, the game changes completely. We'll use a variety of live baits that these fish can't resist, though they're also known to hit dead baits when presented right. Your captain provides all the rods, reels, tackle, bait, and PFDs, plus handles the fishing licenses so you can focus on what matters – catching fish. The tackle is matched perfectly to each target species, giving you the best chance at success while keeping the fight fun and manageable for all skill levels.
Striped bass are the crown jewel of inshore fishing, and for good reason. These silvery beauties combine explosive runs with determined fights that'll test your skills. Stripers are opportunistic feeders that cruise both shallow flats and deeper channels, making them exciting to target with live bait presentations. They're most active during moving tides, especially early morning and late afternoon when baitfish are on the move. What makes striped bass so special is their dual nature – they're world-class sport fish that also happen to be outstanding table fare. A quality striper will give you multiple runs, often jumping and thrashing at the surface before finally coming to the net.
Winter flounder offer a completely different but equally rewarding experience. These flatfish are masters of camouflage, lying buried in sand and mud waiting for an easy meal to drift by. They're perfect for light tackle fishing, where you can feel every subtle tap and pull. Flounder fishing teaches patience and finesse – you'll learn to distinguish between a crab picking at your bait and the steady pull of a keeper flounder. The best part about targeting flounder is how family-friendly it is. Kids love the constant action, and these fish are relatively easy to land once hooked. Peak flounder activity happens during the cooler months when they move into shallow bays and estuaries to feed heavily before their offshore migration.
This combo trip hits all the right notes for serious anglers and casual fishermen alike. You get two distinct fishing experiences in one outing, doubling your chances of bringing home a cooler full of fresh fillets. The variety keeps things interesting – just when you've settled into the rhythm of flounder fishing, it's time to switch gears and chase some hard-fighting stripers. Groups love this format because it gives everyone something to get excited about, whether they prefer the steady action of bottom fishing or the heart-pounding strikes that striped bass deliver. Plus, with our captain handling all the details from licensing to tackle selection, you can focus entirely on fishing and making memories with your crew.

Morone SaxatilisStripers are the perfect mix of fight and flavor that keeps folks coming back. These silver beauties with their distinctive dark stripes typically run 20-40 pounds, though we've seen some real giants push 50+. They're structure-oriented fish, so we'll find them around drop-offs, reefs, and rocky areas along the shoreline. Spring through fall migration brings the best action when they're actively feeding on bunker and herring. What makes stripers special is their raw power - they'll make screaming runs that test your drag and your nerves. The meat is top-shelf eating too, with sweet, firm fillets. Pro tip: when you feel that first tap, don't set the hook right away. Let them take it and start their run, then drive it home hard.
Pseudopleuronectes AmericanusWinter flounder are the ultimate light-tackle family fish that'll keep everyone busy. These flat, oval-shaped bottomfish usually run 1-3 pounds and max out around 8, with their eyes positioned on the right side of their head. You'll find them hiding in sandy or muddy bottoms near structure, especially around vegetation and rocks where they blend in perfectly by changing color to match the surroundings. Cold water months bring the best bite when they're actively feeding on clams, worms, and small crustaceans. Kids love them because they're steady biters once you locate a school, and the sweet, delicate white meat is hard to beat on the dinner table. Key tip: use big baits like whole sea worms - they nibble first, so wait for that solid pull before setting the hook.
