🎣 Striper Action in Raritan Bay: Persistence Pays Off!

Today we welcomed a great mix of familiar faces and new friends aboard the Hallie Loren. It’s always a pleasure seeing our long-time regulars back on deck and introducing new anglers to the excitement of Raritan Bay fishing!

The morning started with a bang. By sticking to the fundamentals and working the water hard, we managed four solid fish early on by casting shads. Among them were three heavy-hitters and one perfect slot-sized keeper, which was immediately bled and iced down for the best possible table quality.

As any seasoned angler knows, the fish can be finicky. While we could see them on the electronics, they weren't making it easy for us. We pulled out all the stops—cycling through live bait, casting, jigging, and trolling—to keep the action moving. We wrapped up the day with four fish and a boat full of good memories.

Every day on the water is a new puzzle, and we love the challenge of solving it!

Raritan Bay Striped Bass Report: Non-Stop Action!

We recently hosted a quick private charter for a long-time customer, Steve, and his hardworking crew. The day started with a bang when our mate, Rich, made a single toss of the cast net and completely loaded the live well with fresh bunker.

Once we set up, it was non-stop action. We had big Striped Bass coming over the rails consistently, with a total of over 45 bass landed, some reaching up to 35 pounds.

Highlights of the Trip:

The Catch: Over 45 Striped Bass caught and released.

Table Fare: Seven perfect "slot-sized" keepers were bled and iced immediately to ensure the highest quality fillets.

Full Service: While the crew headed up to The Rock for post-trip drinks and food, we handled the dirty work—cleaning and bagging the catch. We delivered the fresh fillets directly to them in the parking lot before they headed home.

It was an incredible day on the water, and the guys had such a blast they’ve already put several more dates on the calendar for this season.
