Had a good crowd on tonight's chunk trip. Conditions were anything but ideal with the hard wind against the tide all night long. Made the best of the cards that were dealt and picked a few fish. With the readings we had I think if we had the right conditions and sat correctly we would've crushed them.... But we can't control the weather, only adapt! Thanks to everyone for fishing hard and sticking with it. We'll be there in the morning, 7:30AM leave. The fish are already wet! The forecast will help keep the boat traffic down. Keeping an eye on Saturday nights trip, as well as both trips on Sunday.... Will keep everyone posted! Sailing every day and night 7:30AM-2:30PM and 6:30PM-11:30PM for Striped Bass from Atlantic Highlands Municipal Marina 973-440-0335 or visit fishdarkhorse.com

Night Time Striped Bass Chunking!!!! It's time!!!! What a difference a night makes! Made our way to a different area tonight and found what we were looking for! Took a little bit to get them in the slick, but once we did it was game on. Steady action on the chunks all night with fish up to 36". Many overs going back and a couple keepers for the box. Couldn't have asked for a better night weather wise, or fishing wise. Check out our "story" for some videos of the action. We're doing this EVERY NIGHT! 6:30PM-11:30PM Sailing from Atlantic Highlands Municipal Marina Open Boat limited to 35 passengers! No overcrowding, and no reservations needed.

Out with a light crowd on this beautiful Tuesday. Couldn't beat the weather, warm and light winds. Made our way to where we caught them yesterday and didn't see much so kept pushing. Found a nice body of fish but they had lock jaw for us. The trollers caught well, but they didn't really want the shads. Kept searching and found a pile of bait with fish pushing them up. Still not a great bite but we were able to pick a few with the bait and shads. Once we got covered up with boats there, we moved on and found a nice little patch of fish on top to ourselves. Once we found out what they wanted to eat we started to get some bites. Even had some sick bites right at the boat. Tons of followers and blow ups. Real cool to see the fish eat up top! Landed a handful of fish out of it before it slowed with the boat traffic. Missed a couple of the pictures, but here's some! We are definitely sailing tonight, 4/22 at 6:30PM for our first chunk trip! Come on down, weather is supposed to be gorgeous. Sailing every day this week 7:30AM-2:30PM and 6:30PM-11:30PM Open Boat, limited to 35 passengers. No reservations needed!

Much better bass fishing today! Still have lots of room for improvement, but if you worked the shads there were some fish to be caught! Bounced all around today looking for the right patch of fish and had a couple good shots at them in the second half of the trip. Had wind against tide conditions all morning, but once the conditions came together the fish started to cooperate a little. Like I said, definitely no beatdown but it was better than it's been! Things are looking up for the rest of the week. Everyday is a new day, weather for tomorrow and the rest of the week looks awesome. Warm with light winds. We'll be sailing open every day and night this week, 7:30AM-2:30PM and 6:30PM-11:30PM No reservations needed, just come on down! 2 Simon Lake Dr Atlantic Highlands, NJ For more information please visit fishdarkhorse.com or call/text 973-440-0335

Out this morning on our first bass trip of the season. Ran all over the place, seeing plenty of bait and fish everywhere we looked but a lack of bites. Had some opportunities but didn't capitalize. Thanks to everyone for fishing hard all day, wish we could've put something together for you. Tomorrow is a new day, with a new plan. Changing up our presentation a bit, bring the bait rods as well as the shads! We cancelled tonight's bass trip with the hard wind against the tide, but we WILL be sailing tomorrow morning, Easter Sunday, 7:30AM-2:30PM See everyone tomorrow morning. 2 Simon Lake Dr Atlantic Highlands, NJ Fishdarkhorse.com for more information or call/text 973-440-0335
