Looking for a perfect day on the water without the rough seas and seasickness? This full-day inshore fluke charter with Jerzey Buoyz Sport Fishing is exactly what you need. We keep things calm and comfortable by staying in the protected bay waters around New Jersey, making it ideal for families with kids and anyone new to saltwater fishing. You'll spend your day learning proven techniques while targeting one of the most popular flatfish on the East Coast. With your fishing license already covered and room for up to 6 anglers, all you need to bring are your snacks, drinks, and enthusiasm for reeling in some quality fluke.
This trip takes place entirely in New Jersey's calm inshore waters, which means you get all the excitement of saltwater fishing without dealing with big waves or long runs to fishing spots. We'll cruise through the bay systems where fluke love to hang out, targeting shallow flats, channel edges, and structure where these fish ambush their prey. The relaxed pace gives everyone plenty of time to learn proper drift techniques and bottom fishing methods. Kids especially love this style of fishing because the action is steady, and fluke put up a fun fight without being too overwhelming. The protected waters also mean we can focus on teaching you the finer points of reading your rod tip, feeling the subtle bites, and setting the hook at just the right moment. Plus, the scenery is fantastic – you'll get great views of the New Jersey coastline while we move between productive fishing spots.
Fluke fishing is all about mastering the drift, and that's exactly what we'll teach you on this charter. We use a classic drift fishing approach where we position the boat and let the current carry us over prime fluke habitat. You'll be fishing with bucktail jigs tipped with strip baits or Gulp! soft plastics – a deadly combination that fluke can't resist. The key is keeping your bait just off the bottom as we drift, and we'll show you how to read your rod and feel when a fluke picks up your offering. These fish are notorious for their light bites, so learning to detect that subtle "tap-tap" or slight weight on your line is crucial. We provide all the rods, reels, tackle, and bait you'll need, and our gear is specifically chosen for this type of fishing. The rods have sensitive tips that telegraph every bump and bite, while still having enough backbone to handle larger fluke when they decide to make a run.
Southern flounder, commonly called fluke in New Jersey waters, are absolute masters of camouflage and ambush hunting. These flatfish bury themselves in sand or mud with just their eyes exposed, waiting for unsuspecting baitfish, crabs, or worms to swim by. What makes them so exciting to target is their aggressive strike – when a fluke decides to eat, it commits fully, often inhaling your bait and taking off with surprising speed. They're most active during the warmer months from late spring through early fall, with peak action typically occurring during moving tides when baitfish are on the move. Fluke can range from keeper-sized fish around 18-20 inches up to true doormat specimens pushing 5-8 pounds or more. The smaller ones are perfect for kids to handle and provide steady action, while the bigger fish will test your drag and give you a real workout. New Jersey's inshore waters are particularly productive because they offer the perfect combination of structure, current, and baitfish that fluke need to thrive. These fish are also excellent table fare, with firm white meat that's perfect for everything from fish tacos to classic fish and chips.
