Striped Bass

New Jersey Fishing

There is a long way to go before the summer season, and most game fish are not in their usual habitat. You can catch cod off the coast, or offshore where striped bass are wintering. 

Southern Flounder

Productive Fishing in New England

Flounder fishing at MoonDog Fishing in New England has been absolutely fantastic this week. We have been finding flounder in shallow water, as well as deeper water, which is really exciting. The flounder are eating worms and minnows, so we are using both of those baits to catch them.

If you're looking for an adventure this weekend, come out and join us on the water!
