Nothing much as far as party boats. There is one downtown BH but it is a total rip off. Stay clear of this crook.

Spent a week in that area a few summers ago not much fishing going on.

Spent a week up there, and another at Little Deer Island just south. AWFUL FISHING. In fact its even hard to find bait shops up there.

Gin clear water 20 feet deep to the bottom and not even killies are seen. It's beautiful BUT the absolute pits for fishing.

The Arthur Kill in Elizabeth in the growing up in the 1960's-70's had better fishing.

Had to get bait from a lobster boat at Lobster Coop in Stonington.

Did I say it was the worst fishing I have ever experienced?

You can rent Boston Whaler Montauks at one place by Acadia

Bingo in Boothbay and Bunny Clark in Ogunquit, but they're long drives from Bar Harbor. Ogunquit is about half way between central Jersey and Bar Harbor. Both are nice areas similar to Bar Harbor.

Not fishing but Take a ride thru Cadillac mountain and check out thunder hole. Cool day thing to do with the wife.

Thanks everyone for your input. If the best fishing minds in nj couldn't come up with anything its not gonna happen! Thank god fluke season starts soon after I get back!!!

We where up there a few years ago. Best fishing was fishing for beers at the bottom of the cooler while gorging on fresh lobsters at a roadside lobster pound after hiking/climbing the precipice.

Actually there looks like a lot of cool things you can do fishing-wise. there are a few boats codfishing 20 miles off that time of year, you will see some whales and seals which will be cool for the wife. they pull lobster traps on the way in so you'll walk off the boat with some cod fillets (its not going to be georges bank codfishing) and a few lobsters.

Going to give you some free advise, it's your honeymoon make it special and concentrate on Mrs. StriperChef and you'll have a great time. There has to be a lot of absolutely beautiful sites to see up there. Fishing will just be kicking into gear when you get back and all the time and attention you pay the Mrs. on your honeymoon will be returned tenfold when you get home. Hopefully you have one honeymoon in life, I wouldn't necessarily be concerned about fishing unless of course the misses is as avid an angler as you appear to be. Don't worry yourself about the clams they use for cod, focus on the other one and you'll have a great and memorable honeymoon.
