Striped Bass (Stripers)

Striped bass are the highlight of any saltwater fishing trip. Due to their strong, powerful runs, they are a thrill to catch. These prized fish weigh anywhere from 20 to 50 pounds, making them a favorite among anglers. Known for its mild, flaky texture and slightly sweet flavor, striped bass is a versatile fish in the kitchen, perfect for grilling, baking, or pan-searing. Historically, stripers have been a staple of coastal fishing communities, celebrated for their abundance and culinary value.

Bluefish

Known for their aggressive strikes and spirited fights, bluefish provide an adrenaline-pumping experience for anglers. Their strength makes them a favorite target, especially during their seasonal runs. Bluefish have a bold, rich flavor and firm texture, which makes them ideal for smoking or making flavorful dishes. Historically, they’ve been valued by both recreational and commercial fishermen for their abundance and resilience.

Porgies (Scup)

Porgies are smaller but feisty fish perfect for beginners and experienced anglers alike. They bite eagerly and provide steady action during a trip. Their mild, sweet flavor and tender texture make them a favorite for frying or grilling whole. Porgies have long been a staple in local fishing communities due to their availability and delicious taste.

Fluke (Summer Flounder)

Fluke are prized for their delicate, flaky white meat and are considered one of the best-tasting fish in the Northeast. Catching fluke is a fun and rewarding challenge, requiring precision and skill to hook. Fluke fishing is particularly popular in summer months, making them a sought-after species for anglers looking for both sport and table fare.
