Top Fluke Fishing Trips in NYC
Fluke, or summer flounder, is a flat fish that buries itself in the sand to wait for prey fish to drift by. This makes it a great fish for NYC bottom fishing. Fluke migrate into the bays and inlets around New York and New Jersey in May, and spend the rest of the summer around underwater reefs and wrecks best accessed by boat.
Aboard the Marilyn Jean, we have up to date information on fluke populations around NYC and regularly get to sports where you can expect to hook jumbo fluke and reach daily catch limits in locations like:
- Jamaica Bay
- Rockaway Beach
- Sandy Hook
- Raritan Bay, and More
Our fleet offers a comfortable setting for your fishing trip with well maintained decks, clean cabin space, and an onboard galley. We also provide rods, reels, rigs, buckets, and bait for catching fluke if you do not have the right equipment or prefer not to bring your own.
As a bottom fish, fluke is a good beginner fish as well, making our flounder trips a good choice for first time anglers or family fishing trips. Our friendly crew can provide lessons and tips if you need them to help you get the most out of your day on the water.
Depending on the time of year, you can often catch many of NYC’s best bottom feeding fish on a fluke fishing trip, including porgy, seabass, and triggerfish, guararnteeing an exciting fishing trip.
