<div>Yesterday we had the A.J party out with us for a beautiful day of fluke fishing. Our drift was pretty much non existent in the morning with only .1 to .2 knots so we decided to fish the really sticky areas and these guys really worked their asses off to put some fish in the box. Not only did we have tough conditions but we had to weed through all the shorts. All keepers were in the 20 to 25 inch range. And biggest was about 51/2 pounds. Guys the fishing is getting better and better every day with new bodies of big fish moving in daily!!!!!! August and September are the months when we always get our biggest fish of the year so book a charter or keep your eyes open for one of our open boat trips.</div>

Pacific Halibut

What a great day on the water, couldn't ask for more action! Summer fishing in Neptune City, NJ is always a treat, and this trip with AJ and their crew was no exception. We set out from 301 W Concourse bright and early, hitting the water as the sun was just starting to peek over the horizon. The weather couldn't have been better - clear conditions all day long, perfect for a day of inshore fishing with Smokin Reel Charters.

Once the stage was set, we got down to business with some serious inshore action. We mixed it up between surf casting, bait fishing, and jigging, giving AJ and the crew a real taste of what New Jersey fishing has to offer. The European flounder and Pacific Halibut were biting, keeping us busy throughout the day. It's always a good time when you can switch up techniques and still land some quality fish. We wrapped up the trip with smiles all around, everyone having had their fair share of catches and excitement.

Now, if you're thinking about getting in on some of this New Jersey inshore fishing action, let me tell you, you're in for a treat.
