42” Cobia caught and released to fight another day. We had a very small fishing charter party on Sunday 08/23/2026, between the two of us we ended up releasing this 42" Cobia and in addition had 32 Summer Flounder, and croakers. The Cobia was caught on a 6" floating squid skirt tipped with squid strip and spearing.
Summer Flounder aka Fluke
While fishing for Summer Flounder, also known as fluke, is at its prime and nearing its peak for the summer, there is still plenty of time to get out on the water and target them. As August and September begin to roll around, the Summer Flounder start their slow migration toward their wintering grounds, moving out of the shallower bays and inshore waters and heading for deeper areas of the Atlantic Ocean. Plan your trips now to take advantage of great bite windows before their seasonal movement picks up.
Blog Post Fishing Report 07/31/2026-NJ 4-Hour AM Private Fishing Charters Fishing Report for Grandma’s Birthday
On our Friday 07/31/2026 4-Hour AM Private LBI Charter, our clients had a special request for Grandma’s birthday, which we were more than happy to accommodate. The clients aboard were locals from the Waretown area, which included, Mom, Dad, Grandma (on her birthday trip), and their excited 6-year-old daughter out for her very first fishing adventure. For Grandma’s celebration, their special request was to spend some time crabbing in the bay during their private charter.
