Capt. Allen-Great pictures, I love the "mix"!
How big do those flounder get? Any over 5 pounds?
Can you "target" them or is it all by-catch?

Thank you!

Jason:

I've seen very few flounder in NJ over 5# - but yes we occasionally see one here and there on the deepwater wrecks. Most are 2-4#ers, with the majority being in the 2-3# range. We never see shorts out there, and most are well over the minimum.

Yes you can target them (we're catching most of them in 120'+) but with a bag limit of 2 and usually loads of ling and some cod and other stuff around its not really logical. But, yes you can target them and we break out the old rigs w/ yellow beads when we're on a piece we know that have them thick

Thank you Captain Allen!
Would you say that July/August/September are best? I guess if you want to "mix it up", September holds the greatest variety including the tunoids and mahi and flounders (OH MY!)......Jason

I'd say June thru mid-August is best for this kind of fishery. The latest I've caught flounder "offshore" was in early November seabass fishing in like 130'.

...just bumping this back up - lots of the opens are filling up for the summer - I will updated AVAILABILITY on all of them today (right now they aren't showing availability) so those of you that are interested can see what we have.

Once seabass opens, I'm sure we'll have some weekends 'open' for them also...

Getting lots of calls for charters - keep them coming!
