New Jersey Fishing
There is a long way to go before the summer season, and most game fish are not in their usual habitat. You can catch cod off the coast, or offshore where striped bass are wintering.

Productive Fishing in New England
Flounder fishing at MoonDog Fishing in New England has been absolutely fantastic this week. We have been finding flounder in shallow water, as well as deeper water, which is really exciting. The flounder are eating worms and minnows, so we are using both of those baits to catch them. If you're looking for an adventure this weekend, come out and join us on the water!

My children and I did a half day striper fishing with Capt. Mike. He put us literally is familiar with the waters and was able to put us right on the fish, On a day where I literally can tell you there were hundreds of boats, like a parking lot, maybe saw 5-10 hookups, but Capt Mike worked extremely hard for us and and made sure we'll have a productive trip. He is extremely knowledgeable about all kinds of fishing, he can tell you about Florida fishing, Massachusetts fishing, salt water or freshwater fishing. Extremely easy going, great with kids, easy to talk to. I would absolutely book another trip with Moondog Fly and Light Tackle !!!!

I recently went out fishing with Captain Michael from MoonDog Fishing and had a great experience. Michael was extremely professional and knowledgeable about the waters. He was able to get us onto some great spots and we ended up catching a bunch of fish. Highly recommend!
