Whether you're bringing the whole crew or flying solo, we'll put you on fish and show you why Water Wolves has become AC's go-to charter for serious flounder action.
As soon as we shove off, you'll feel the excitement building. Our seasoned captain knows these waters like the back of his hand, and he's got a knack for finding where the doormat flounder are stacked up. We'll cruise through the scenic back bays, keeping an eye out for bird activity and bait movements that signal where the fish are feeding. Once we're on a good spot, it's time to drop lines and get ready for that telltale thump of a big flattie inhaling your bait. And when you hook up? Get ready for a fight - these summer flounder pull like freight trains!
If you've never targeted fluke (summer flounder) before, you're in for a treat. We use a mix of techniques, from drifting with bucktails to jigging soft plastics. The key is keeping your bait near the bottom where these ambush predators lie in wait. We'll show you how to detect those subtle bites and set the hook just right. Our gear is top-notch, with sensitive rods that let you feel every nibble and strong reels to winch up those big ones from the depths. Don't worry if you're new to this - we'll have you fishing like a pro in no time.
Folks who fish with Water Wolves tend to become regulars, and it's not just because of the fish we put in the cooler (though that certainly helps). It's the whole package - the local knowledge, the laid-back vibe, and those "you had to be there" moments that make a great day on the water. Maybe it's watching the sun rise over the Atlantic as we head out, or the look on your buddy's face when they land their personal best fluke. Whatever it is, our clients leave with stories they'll be telling for years.
Summer Flounder (Fluke) are the stars of the show on this trip, and for good reason. These flatfish are masters of camouflage, blending in perfectly with the sandy bottom until they explode on your bait. They're not just fun to catch - they're downright delicious too. Summer is prime time for flounder fishing in AC, with fish ranging from keeper-sized schoolies to genuine doormats over 10 pounds. The biggest ones tend to hang out in deeper channels and around structure, which is exactly where we'll be fishing. Besides their size, fluke are known for their fight. They might look lazy lying there on the bottom, but hook one and you'll see why anglers get hooked on flounder fishing.
While we're primarily after flounder, don't be surprised if we tangle with some other species. Depending on the time of year and conditions, we might also encounter striped bass, weakfish, or even the occasional bluefish. Each of these puts up a unique fight and adds variety to the day's catch.
Look, there's a reason why our summer weekends book up fast - this isn't your average fishing trip. This is a chance to get out on the water with a crew that knows how to put you on fish and make sure you have a blast doing it. Whether you're looking to fill the cooler with some tasty fillets or just want to bend a rod and make some memories, our 4-hour flounder charter is the ticket. Don't let another season slip by without getting in on the action. Give us a call, lock in your date, and get ready for some of the best fluke fishing Atlantic City has to offer. Trust me, that first time you feel a big flounder hammer your bait, you'll be glad you did. See you on the water!
Summer flounder are a fascinating catch around here. These flatfish, also called "fluke," typically run 15-20 inches but can grow much larger. You'll find them hanging out on sandy or muddy bottoms, often near structures like jetties or wrecks. They're masters of camouflage, changing color to blend in with the seafloor. Fall is prime time for flounder fishing, especially September through November. They put up a good fight and make excellent table fare, which is why so many anglers target them. When we're after flounder, we'll use live bait like minnows or mullet. A local trick is to hook smaller baitfish through the eye - it keeps them lively and irresistible to hungry fluke. We'll use a 7-foot rod with a sturdy line, since you never know when a big one might take the bait. These "chameleons of the sea" are ambush predators, so we'll drift or anchor over likely spots and let our bait do the work. Keep your line tight - their bite can be subtle, but once hooked, they'll give you a run for your money.
