We will run prospecting trips and check reports on when the migrating stripers have arrived, which is usuallly around mid- late October. Follow our facebook page, Mighty Heron Charters, for the latest updates.
Striped Bass are arguably the most sought-after game fish in nearshore waters—a chance at huge fish and good action!
Transit time from marina to Manasquan Inlet - about 10 to 15 minutes - is not included in trip time.
We have bonus tags that allow each angler to keep one fish between 24 and 28 inches in addition to the one fish per angler. We can jig, snag n' drop, sight-cast, or troll. We love jigging.
Depending on the length of the trip and where the fish are biting, we will range as far as Shrewsbury Rocks and Island Beach State Park. Upon request, we can go as far as Raritan Bay, for an additional “fuel used” surcharge.
