pick a harbor, pier, or rock jetty and go fish it, take some sand shimp and some pickled squid or herring and have some fun. as far as a charter boat do a search on google for east coast striped bass charters, but if nothing else if you find some guys loading up to go fishing ask them where and what they are going for and ask about you chipping in on gas, beer, and bait and see if you can tag along.
on the cowlitz river in washington if we are not having any luck from shore we usaully give guys in boats 20-30 bucks and they take us out for the rest of the day. GOOD LUCK and HAVE FUN
