The fishing scene in the Beach Haven area has now evolved into what is often referred to as the “shoulder season.” The captains and boats of the Beach Haven Charter Fishing Association are eager to take advantage of this special time of the year. There are several elements that make these few weeks so special. First, the weather. The nights have started to cool off but as a rule, the days are sunny with temperatures neither too cool nor too hot. The waters remain warm while the weather makes for comfortable fishing conditions. With the waters still warm, many varieties of fish remain around to provide fishing action usually found more to the south. The mahi and tuna reach their peak in early fall while species such as cobia, wahoo, red drum, and sheepshead, to mention a few, make appearances. Although the summer flounder season concludes on September 25, black sea bass daily bag limits rise to 10 per angler on September 23, making for good action for bottomfishermen.

THE ELITE FLEET! From the late 1800s, there has been an active charter boat fleet in and around Beach Haven, NJ. That fleet continues today as the Beach Haven Charter Fishing Association with boats available for charter fishing on Long Beach Island from the causeway, south to Holgate, and on the mainland from Lanoka Harbor in the north to Tuckerton in the south. The Elite Fleet Captains are experienced anglers, and the U.S. Coast Guard licenses them all. All Elite Fleet Boats have insurance coverage to protect you while you are fishing with us. We operate clean boats and provide the best tackle, along with bait and ice for your convenience. The Elite Fleet Boats range in size from 19' to 44' and most captains welcome families and children on fishing trips! There is a variety of boat styles from open console and express models, to fly bridge sportfishing crafts with perfect accommodations to fit the needs of you and your charter fishing party. Choose from a variety of charter fishing and cruising trips. New Jersey offers a wide variety of sportfishing. Inshore species include Fluke (Summer Flounder), Sea Bass, Bluefish, Striped Bass (Stripers), Blackfish (Tautog), Shark and others. You can fish the back bays or go to an inshore reef to bottom fish. Alternatively, you can take a trip offshore to battle with Marlin, Tuna and Swords! Many Elite Fleet Boats offer a variety of cruises from just around the bay, to all the way around Long Beach Island. Alternatively, you can take an excursion to Atlantic City or Cape May for lunch or dinner. You can view real estate by water to get a waterside view of a property. We even have Elite Fleet Boats that have performed burials at sea, so the possibilities are almost limitless.
