Get ready for some serious striper action on Raritan Bay! This 6-hour morning charter with Scaled Up Fishing Charters puts you right in the heart of one of Florida's top-rated striped bass fisheries. You'll be fishing solo with an experienced captain who knows exactly where the fish are holding, and the best part? All your gear is covered, so just grab your cooler with snacks and drinks and let's get after it. The morning bite is legendary here, and you'll be working the productive waters when the fish are most active.
Your day starts early on the captain's premium boat, designed for comfort and built for fishing success. Raritan Bay offers some of the most consistent striped bass fishing you'll find, with structure-rich waters that hold fish year-round. The captain runs a top-notch operation, keeping the boat clean, the gear sharp, and the fish finder tuned to perfection. You'll be fishing inshore waters that range from shallow grass flats to deeper channels where the stripers cruise looking for baitfish. The morning hours are prime time - cooler water temps and active feeding make for explosive strikes. Expect to move around a bit as we follow the fish, hitting multiple spots to maximize your chances of landing that trophy striper.
The captain comes prepared with everything you need for a world-class striper fishing experience. We're talking quality rods and reels spooled with fresh line, a tackle box full of proven lures, and live bait when conditions call for it. The approach varies based on what the fish are doing - some days they'll crush topwater plugs at dawn, other days they want a slow-rolled bucktail along the bottom. You might find yourself casting swimming plugs to breaking fish, or working live bunker in the deeper holes where the big girls hang out. The captain reads the water and adjusts tactics on the fly, whether that means switching to lighter tackle for spooky fish or going heavy when the bass are schooled up and feeding hard. Circle hooks keep the fish healthy for release, and the captain's got a good selection of weights and sinkers for different drift speeds and depths.
Striped Bass are the stars of this show, and Raritan Bay holds some absolute tanks. These fish are built like footballs with shoulders that'll test your drag system. Stripers here typically run anywhere from schoolie size up to 30+ pound cows, with the bigger fish often lurking in the deeper channels and around structure. They're incredibly smart fish that can be picky one day and aggressive the next - that's what makes them so addictive to target. Spring through fall offers the best action, with fish moving through the bay following massive schools of bunker, herring, and other baitfish. When you hook into a good striper, you'll know it immediately - they make blistering runs and fight dirty, using the current and structure to try and break you off. The morning bite is particularly strong because these fish feed heavily in low-light conditions, and you'll often see them busting bait right on the surface. What anglers love most is the variety - you might catch a dozen schoolies before that one big fish of the day shows up and makes your morning.
This solo charter gives you the full attention of an experienced captain who's dedicated to putting you on fish. With only one angler on board, you're not competing for rod time or the best fishing spots - it's all yours. The 6-hour window gives you plenty of time to work different areas and techniques, and the morning start puts you on the water during peak feeding times. Scaled Up Fishing Charters has built a reputation for consistent results and customer satisfaction, running a clean operation with quality gear and local knowledge that can't be beat. The captain covers all your tackle needs, so you can focus on what matters most - fighting fish. Don't wait too long to book, especially during peak season when the stripers are thick. This kind of personalized fishing experience fills up fast, and the morning slots are always the first to go.
