​

Motion sickness is very rare.

​

​

•   8:00AM - 11:00AM

•  12:00PM - 3:00PM

•  4:30PM - 7:30PM

​

These start times are for general guidance. We will try to work with you for other start times. First trip of morning has option to start as early as 6:30 a.m. 5-hour morning trips begin at 6:30 a.m.

This trip is very popular for families with younger children. They find 2 hours to be “just right” for introducing the young ones to fishing or being on a boat. Our marina is minutes from productive fishing grounds so we can maximize time with “lines in”. We have rods and reels that are designed for smaller hands.

​

We take great pride in helping and coaching kids.

​

This trip is also good for “big kids” with limited time.

​

​

Action and a shot at a pile of filets is the name of the game for these tasty fighters. Sea Bass fishing off South Jersey has been very good for several years and we see no reason why it won't be this year. We fish over known to be productive reefs and wrecks. 

​

The 2023 Spring Sea Bass season is May 17th and end June 19th, with a 10 fish per person bag limit, at 12.5 inches. 

 

Child friendly? We believe parents are the best judge of their kids’ readiness to go on the ocean. We recommend age 10+ but leave that decision up to you.

 

6 hour trips will go out approximately 15-20 miles

8 hour trips will go out to approximately 30 miles

We will fish reefs and wrecks along the NJ shoreline out to about 15 miles from shore.

 

When the ocean really begins to warm up, the bigger Flounder (Fluke) like to move out to the reefs and wrecks. Bluefish, Sea Bass, Trigger Fish can also be caught.  Porgies/Scup and Weakfish (Sea Trout) can show up in late Summer/early Fall. From about mid - July until mid - October we can incorporate snag and drop or trolling for coastal sharks, Cobia or a variety of small tunas or mackerels.

 

 

This trip begins at 7:00AM and you have the option to leave as early as 5:30AM.

 

Kid Friendly? We believe parents are the best judge of their children's readiness to go on the ocean. We recommend age 8+ but leave it up to you.

We will troll, chunk, or jig for tunas such as Yellowfin, Bluefin, and Bigeye and/or Mahi and Wahoo. Don’t count out Marlin. Love to hear that big reel scream.

​

In June we chase Bluefin and later in the month Mahi. As the Summer progresses and the water warms up, we catch “football tunas” along with Mahi and Wahoo.

​

Depending on conditions we leave as early as 2:00AM but generally around 3:00AM. Age 12+ strongly recommended.

 

Smooth calm waters are the norm for this trip. We head up the Great Egg Harbor River complex and target a variety of species. In April and May, we can target large stripers, White Perch, and catfish. September-December is for “schoolie” Stripers, White Perch and Catfish. 

​

Night trips available for Striped Bass approximately from April 15th – June 1st. Call for details.

​

For the past several years, stripers have not shown up in our area in any great numbers until around Thanksgiving. For 2021, the heart of the run was about from late November until early January. We check reports and run self-prospecting trips before offering to clients to assure a reasonable chance to find the big ones. Yes, we have bonus tags. These are trolling and/or jigging trips. We prefer jigging :-) 

 

We recommend the 8-hour option as we can run as far as Long Beach Island or Wildwood.

 

A note from Capt. Mike – 

I have been seriously pursuing Stripers up and down the East Coast for 30 years. The Fall of 2021 run of LARGE Stripers off South Jersey was unlike anything I have ever seen. It was historic. Let’s hope for a repeat in 2022.

​

Ages 10+ recommended 

The size and bag limit for the Spring season is 4 fish per angler with a minimum size limit of 15 inches.​

 

We double anchor. Green crabs and, if available, white leg crabs are provided.

​

"Toggin" can take a little practice to get the hang of hooking them and wrestling them out of their hiding spot.

It's a lot of fun. We do not recommend this trip for younger anglers with limited or no experience.
