Northeast Surfcasters was founded in 2017 by four avid Surfcasters who have become more like brothers. As we are sure other Northeast anglers can relate, the bond and love created by this sport supersedes any other. To most, this bond & love we speak of is unexplainable and actually thought of by others as insanity! But if you’re like one of us that lives for that perfect tide, first light blitz, that nor’easter rolling up the coast, or just the chance that you could catch the fish of a life time, then you know exactly what we’re talking about!

The four of us grew up fishing the north as well as the south shores of Massachusetts. From a young age all of us have been 100% obsessed with surfcasting and the addiction has only intensified with age! We fish from New Jersey to Maine throughout the season but our primary areas are Cape Cod as well as Plum Island and the southern New Hampshire coast. We mainly target striped bass, gator blue fish and of course Albies.
We pride ourselves on practicing and spreading proper etiquette, respect and doing everything possible to help sustain the striped bass fishery as well as all other local game fish. While we respect the angler, who harvests a legal fish from time to time, we’re 100% catch and release. We urge all anglers to do the same at least in regards to larger breeder class fish! Good luck to all of you this season and hopefully we run into some of you on the water!Instagram: northeastsurfcasters

Zachary Frankel is an avid angler who has been fishing since he could hold a rod. He has caught almost everything New Jersey waters have to offer from fluke all the way to tuna. He has grown up fishing for fluke, in Shark River, almost everyday during the season. He has been tuna fishing since he was 8 and does multiple trips every year. For the last two seasons (going on three) he has run an 18ft Maycraft called the “Fluke Aholic”. He uses his boat to target all of New Jerseys inshore species, especially doormat fluke. But New Jersey is not the only place he goes fishing. He often fishes down in Florida and Costa Rica for a couple of weeks out of the year.

My name is Chris Johnstone. I have been fishing for what seems my whole life. Started in freshwater as a kid for bass and trout. As I got older,I started to fish the salt,less and less, I fished fresh and then I stopped fishing fresh when I lost all my gear form Sandy. I started kayak fishing 8 years ago and won’t fish any other way. It’s hard to explain but the easiest way is you are one with the water. I catch a lot of slack from people about it, but I can experience things you can’t in a boat or from land. Hooking a big blue that pulls you in circles or a big bass that takes you for a ride. Fluke fishing has always been my favorite to fish for. I found S&S Bucktails about 6 years ago, after trying several different brands and haven’t looked back since. Jig of choice is the

S&S Bigeye Series, tightlines and you see on the water.

I’ve been fishing since I was a baby, grew up fishing the Long Island Sound ,Smithtown Bay and surrounding areas for fluke and flounder. I also grew up fishing out of the Hampton Bays such as Tiana Bay and Shinnecock. I started working on party boats out of Captree at 17yrs. old, worked for the Viking fleet for one summer and worked for Hampton Lady last summer. Fluke and Seabass have always been my main target species but the last 5 years I have gotten into togging, I have done a little offshore fishing and some sharking but determined to do a lot more this summer. I’m currently working with NYangler.com, dealing with customer relations while also attending nursing school.

My name is Scott Thomas and I’ve been fishing my entire life. I was a dead stick guy until I heard about bucktailing for stripers. After quite a few outings of getting skunked, I met some guys who knew what they were doing and I watched and learned. I started kayak fishing about five years ago, and now avidly fish from my kayak, the surf, and sod banks. I’m a huge fan of taking out of state kayak trips to target species in new waters, but stripers, fluke, and tog will always be my target of choice. I’m a huge believer of passing on what knowledge I have, especially to the younger generations. I’ll see you in the suds.

Now you can catch me fishing both the bays and shores around Atlantic City. My boat runs out of Brigantine and I also fish the surf and the jetties. I was also a guest speaker for the 2019 Salt Water Sportsman National Seminar. I am currently studying to get my captain’s license.
