Expert-Guided NJ Inshore Fishing | Striped Bass

Sunset Stripers: 4-Hour NJ Fishing Escape

Ready to trade your desk for a deck? Our 4-hour evening trip out of Highlands, NJ is your ticket to unwind after a long day. We'll cruise the scenic bay as the sun dips low, casting lines and chasing stripers in that magic golden hour. It's the perfect slice of fishing paradise for busy folks who can't swing a full day on the water but still want to get their fix.

What's the Deal?

We've got you covered from stem to stern on this trip. All the gear you need is on board – rods, reels, tackle, bait, you name it. We even take care of your fishing license for the day. Just bring some grub, your favorite drinks (no glass bottles, please), and make sure your phone's got juice for those trophy pics. And here's a sweet bonus: when we get back to the dock, we'll clean your catch at no extra charge. That's dinner sorted!

How We Roll

We'll be targeting striped bass, the crown jewel of Jersey's inshore fishing scene. Depending on the day, we might be chunking bunker, tossing lures, or live-lining eels. Our captain knows these waters like the back of his hand and will put us on the fish. Whether you're a seasoned angler or it's your first time wetting a line, we'll make sure you're in on the action. Just a heads up – it's customary to tip the mate 15-20% if they've been hustling for you all trip. They work hard to make your trip a success, so show 'em some love if they've earned it.

Why Anglers Dig This Trip

Look, we get it. Not everyone can play hooky for a full day of fishing. That's why this trip is such a hit. You can put in a full day at the office and still have time to bend a rod before bed. It's the perfect after-work stress buster. Plus, there's something special about fishing as the day winds down. The water calms, the light gets soft, and the stripers often go on the feed. It's a slice of fishing heaven that fits into a busy schedule.

The Star of the Show: Striped Bass

Striped bass, or "stripers" as we call 'em, are the rockstars of the Northeast coast. These fish are the perfect blend of power and beauty. They've got those distinctive black stripes running down their sides, giving them their name and making them a photographer's dream. But don't let their good looks fool you – when you hook into a big one, you're in for a fight.

Stripers can grow to impressive sizes, with fish over 40 inches not uncommon in these waters. They're ambush predators, often hanging around structure or in rips where they can surprise their prey. This makes for exciting fishing as you never know when your line is going to get slammed.

In the late afternoon and evening, stripers often move into shallower water to feed. This coincides perfectly with our trip time, giving us a great shot at hooking into some quality fish. There's nothing quite like the sound of your drag screaming as a big striper makes a run in the fading light.

One of the coolest things about stripers is their seasonal movement. While we can catch them throughout much of the year, the fall run is something special. As the water cools, big schools of stripers migrate south, often hugging the coastline. This can lead to some epic fishing days where it seems like every cast gets hit. If you're lucky enough to book a trip during this time, you're in for a treat.

Time to Get Your Line Wet

Listen, life's too short for all work and no play. This 4-hour trip is your chance to squeeze some quality fishing into your busy life. Whether you're looking to decompress after a tough day at the office, want to introduce the kids to the joys of fishing, or just need a quick fishing fix, we've got you covered.
