Fishing Charters

Scroll through to see all offered bay, inshore ocean, deep sea, and offshore sportfishing trips.

All offered charters are private. A private charter means that a single party hired the crew & boat for their own use. There will be no other parties on board. See bottom of page for additional information regarding seasons and specie availability.

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.

​

​

Half Day Inshore Fishing 

 July 1 until end of September

5 hours at $550 for up to 6 people 

Each additional hour is $75

​

​

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.

Striped Bass

Ocean: November - December

       4 hour trips are $525

       6 hour trips are $750  

       8 hour trips are $900

       3 hour afternoon/dusk trips are available. Call for details.

2024 will be the second season that we move the boat to the Point Pleasant area for the months of October and November and return to Ocean City for December. The great thing about this flexibility on where to locate is Striper fishing out of Manasquan Inlet begins earlier and is much more consistent. 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. We jig, snag and drop, or troll as appropriate. We prefer jigging :-) 

 

Ages 10+ recommended 

By regulation, we are limited to 6 passengers. New Jersey saltwater fishing is seasonal due to fish migration patterns and regulations. If you are not sure what specie might be available at any time of the year, or you want to target a particular type of fish, such as flounder, bluefish, tog, striped bass, or tuna please call us with any question and we will let you know what is currently available or when we will be targeting the specie you have in mind.

​

Mates work hard and for tips.  A 15 - 20% gratuity is appropriate. 

​

All bait and tackle provided. License (permit) is covered by the boat. No individual license required.
