Report We are fishing from Atlantic City, New Jersey for trigger fish, mahi-mahi, flounder, seabass, spanish mackerel, shark, skipjack, and tuna during August. The hottest fishing. last week was the bay flounder trips, and the inshore trolling tris. We will stay in New Jersey deep sea fishing until Thanksgiving. Open boat mixed group charters are available on Tuesdays and Thursdays from Atlantic City. These open boat trips are 4 hour bay trips for flounder, croaker, and weakfish, and cost only $75 per person. Flounder season ends Friday, September 4th, and they are being caught in the bays and ocean front . The flounder have been averaging a little under the keeper limit of 18 inches, and on the typical 4 hour trip we are boating 50 fish on average. Flounder and seabass are being caught on the ocean wrecks, and offshore shark mixed in with trigger fish, bluefish, mahi-mahi, spanish mackerel, skipjack, and tuna are along the 20 fathom line. The 30 fathom line has yellowfin tuna, mahi-mahi, and marlin We are also catching bonito, mahi-mahi, spanish mackerel, amberjack, and false albacore off the lobster pots. Because of the tropical weather systems passing offshore,it has been difficult to get into the ocean on many days. Call me on my cell at 410-320-9351 if you would like to book a trip.
