Looking for a solid day of fluke fishing without burning your whole weekend? This 6-hour half-day trip out of Brick Township hits the sweet spot for anglers who want serious action without the full commitment of an all-day charter. Starting at 6:30 am, you'll be out on prime flounder grounds while the fish are still feeding actively from the night before. The flexible start time means we can adjust based on tides and conditions – because let's face it, the fish don't always follow our schedule. With space for just one angler, you get personalized attention and can fish at your own pace without worrying about tangled lines or competing for rod space.
This isn't your typical party boat experience where you're elbow-to-elbow with other anglers. With Stripe Tease Sportfishing, you're getting a top-rated charter that focuses on putting you on fish, not packing bodies on deck. The 6-hour window gives us plenty of time to work multiple spots and adjust our game plan based on what the fluke are telling us. We'll start early to beat the recreational traffic and hit those prime feeding windows when summer flounder are most active. The boat is rigged specifically for bottom fishing, with quality tackle and all the terminal gear you'll need. You just bring yourself, some snacks, and maybe a cooler for your catch. The guides know these local waters like the back of their hand and aren't shy about sharing techniques that actually work, not just the stuff you read in magazines.
We're talking real fishing here – live bait presentations, buck tailing, and jigging techniques that consistently produce fluke in these waters. Live bait is often the go-to method, especially when we can get our hands on fresh killies, squid strips, or spearing. The guides will show you how to rig your bait properly and work it in the current to get that natural presentation fluke can't resist. Buck tailing with a teaser rig above is another customer favorite – the flash and movement of the bucktail combined with a baited hook often triggers strikes from fish that might otherwise be finicky. Jigging with soft plastics like Gulp! Swimming Mullet or Berkeley Fluke Hawks rounds out the arsenal, especially effective when fish are holding tight to structure. You'll learn to read your drift, feel the bottom, and recognize those subtle taps that signal a flounder mouthing your bait. These aren't secrets – they're time-tested methods that work consistently in Brick Township waters.
Summer flounder, or fluke as most locals call them, are the bread and butter of New Jersey's inshore fishing scene. These ambush predators spend their days buried in sand waiting for baitfish to swim overhead, then explode upward with surprising speed for a flatfish. What makes them so exciting to target is their unpredictability – you might catch a throwback followed by a doormat in the same drift. In Brick Township waters, fluke typically run anywhere from keeper size at 18 inches up to genuine trophy fish pushing 8-10 pounds during peak season. Summer months from May through September offer the best action, with fish moving into shallower waters to feed aggressively before their fall migration. The fight isn't about long runs like you'd get from a striper, but rather a stubborn, head-shaking battle as they try to get back to the bottom. Plus, there's nothing quite like watching a big fluke materialize from the depths – they're masters of camouflage until that white belly flashes as they turn on your bait. Best of all, they're excellent table fare, making this both a sporting and culinary adventure.
