The flounder season starts early in May and runs through September. The back bay is full of cuts, channels and flats that provide great hunting grounds for flounder, and great fishing grounds for us.
When the flounder season winds down the tog season heats up! Tog gorge themselves before they make the migration out to the reef for the winter, which means it’s not uncommon for someone to catch 50 or more fish in a trip. These trips are a TON of fun, and run from August until November.

After more than 15 years fishing the back bays of Brigantine and Atlantic City as captain and mate on the FishFinder 2, Captain Josh is excited to be providing a more private, personal and comfortable fishing experience for both anglers and families alike. While focused on flounder fishing, we also fish for tog, bluefish, striped bass and anything else down there that’s hungry! If fishing isn’t your thing, then perhaps you’d like our 3 Hour Tour.
With a 200 square foot deck, the Jenny Lynn is spacious with plenty of room to move around. She has 2 forward swivel chairs and 2 aft swivel chairs, each one equipped with multiple rod holders and a cupholder. There are also 2 midship couch seats, also with multiple rod and cup holders. We have a community cooler for fish and a tagging system to keep everyones fish separate.. There is a bathroom onboard with a full size water flush toilet. And what boating trip isn’t complete without good tunes? She’s got a 6 speaker sound system to get the party started!
The Jenny Lynn features state of the art technology with Minn Kota’s One Boat Network. A powerful 36v 110 lb thrust trolling motor is connected to the gps/fishfinder allowing for an unprecedented level of boat control, including the ability to instantly “anchor” anywhere at any time. The Jenny Lynn has dual Humminbird Fishfinders, one for the trolling motor and a second providing side scanning sonar.
You don’t have to worry about not being prepared. We provide everything you need - just bring snacks, drinks and sunblock. Rods, bait, tackle, bucktails, Gulp, pool entries and fillet services are all included.
Small coolers for your food and drinks are good, but please leave the large (over 30 inches) coolers at home. Got a 30+ inch cooler for your private charter? No problem, we will make it work but please no giant coolers.
Feel free to bring your own rod, or use one of ours. With 18 rod holders, yes there’s room for a backup or two. We feature striper tested, flounder approved spinning rods with braided line so you don’t miss a bite.
There are type 1 life jackets for everyone aboard, in accordance with coast guard regulations. Children are required to wear life jackets at all times, and we have comfortable type 4s for big kids, small kids and really small kids. Comfortable type 4 adult life jackets are available upon request. In case anyone finds themselves in the unfortunate position of being in the water, we have a throw cushion as well as a life ring, and a telescopic 27 ft boat hook to get you back into the boat.
On the Jenny Lynn, everyone is automatically entered in our pools. We feature a monthly heaviest fluke contest, as well as a grand prize for the season‘s heaviest! There is also a heaviest Tog pool.
