We've got everything covered, from rods and reels to expert guidance that'll have you feeling like a pro in no time. Belmar's calm waters are calling, and trust me, there's nothing quite like the thrill of your first catch.

What to Expect on the Water

Picture this: You're cruising out of Belmar Marina, the salty breeze in your hair, and the excitement building as we head to our secret fishing spots. Our seasoned crew knows these waters like the back of their hand, so you're in for a treat. We keep things simple and fun, focusing on light tackle and easy-to-learn techniques.

The waters just off Belmar are teeming with fish, so your chances of reeling in a keeper are pretty darn good.

Fishing 101: Gear and Techniques

Let's talk shop for a sec. We're all about keeping it simple for beginners. You'll be working with light tackle - think spinning rods and reels that are easy to handle. We'll show you the ropes on basic techniques like bottom fishing and drift fishing. It's all about feeling that nibble, setting the hook, and reeling 'em in.

Oh, and pro tip: wear non-slip shoes and bring a hat and sunscreen. Trust me, you'll thank me later.

Fish Tales: What's Biting

Alright, let's chat about what you might be reeling in. Belmar's inshore waters are home to some real crowd-pleasers. Fluke (that's summer flounder to you landlubbers) are a blast to catch and even better to eat. They're masters of camouflage, so spotting them is half the fun. Porgies, or scup, might not be the biggest fish in the sea, but they're feisty little fighters that'll give you a run for your money. And if you're lucky, you might tangle with a bluefish - these guys are the speed demons of the ocean and will make your reel sing.

Why Folks Keep Coming Back

I'll let you in on a little secret - fishing isn't just about catching fish. It's about the stories you'll tell, the laughs you'll share, and those "you had to be there" moments. Our trips are perfect for families looking to bond, friends wanting to try something new, or solo adventurers eager to meet like-minded folks. There's something magical about being out on the water, away from the hustle and bustle, just you and the ocean (and maybe a fish or two). Plus, the look on someone's face when they reel in their first catch? Priceless. That's what keeps people coming back for more.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Let's dive into the stars of our show - the fish you'll be chasing after. First up, the Red Porgy. These guys are like the supermodels of the sea, with their pinkish-silver scales and big eyes. They're not just pretty faces though; they put up a good fight and taste amazing grilled. Best time to catch 'em? Late spring through summer.

Next, we've got the Bluefish. These toothy critters are the bad boys of the ocean. They're fast, they're strong, and they'll make your reel scream. Bluefish are most active in the warmer months, and when they're biting, it's non-stop action. Just watch those fingers when you're unhooking them!

Summer Flounder, or Fluke as we call 'em, are the ninjas of the sea. They're masters of disguise, blending in with the sandy bottom. But don't let their flat shape fool you - these guys can put up one heck of a fight. Late spring to early fall is prime time for flounder fishing, and there's nothing quite like the satisfaction of outsmarting these crafty bottom-dwellers.

Last but definitely not least, we've got the mighty Striped Bass. These are the rock stars of inshore fishing. They're big, they're powerful, and landing one is a real badge of honor for any angler. Stripers, as we like to call them, are most active in the spring and fall. When you hook into one of these bad boys, hold on tight - it's gonna be a wild ride!

Book now, and let's make some waves (and catch some fish) together!

Learn more about the species

Bluefish

Bluefish are hard-fighting gamefish that'll give you a run for your money. These aggressive predators typically range from 3 to 15 pounds, with some topping 20. Look for them in Belmar's nearshore waters, especially around bays and inlets. Bluefish are most active here from June through October, with peak action in late summer. They're famous for their feeding frenzies – if you see birds diving or water churning, get ready for some fast-paced fishing. Anglers love bluefish for their strong runs and acrobatic jumps when hooked. Their oily meat makes great smoked fish too. To catch them, try using cut bait or shiny lures that mimic baitfish. A local tip: when bluefish are in a frenzy, they'll hit just about anything, so don't be afraid to use bigger, noisier lures to get their attention. Just watch those teeth when unhooking – they're razor sharp!

Red Porgy

Red Porgy, or Common Seabream, are a prized catch off Belmar's coast. These fish typically run 13-20 inches long, with a distinctive pale red color and metallic sheen. You'll find them hanging around rocky areas and reefs in depths of 30-260 feet. Red Porgy are most active in warmer months, making summer and early fall prime fishing time. Anglers love targeting them for their delicate white meat that flakes beautifully. When fishing for Red Porgy, try using small baits like clams, worms, or squid – they're not too picky, but keep offerings under 2 inches. A local trick is to use longlines or fish traps near crab-rich areas. These fish can be shy, so patience is key. Once hooked, Red Porgy put up a decent fight for their size, making them fun for beginners and seasoned anglers alike.

Striped Bass

Striped Bass, or stripers, are the crown jewel of Belmar's fishery. These powerful fish average 20-40 pounds, with some monsters topping 50. You'll find them cruising nearshore waters, especially around structure like jetties and sandbars. Striper fishing kicks off in spring, peaks in fall, and can be red-hot during their famous "blitzes." Anglers love stripers for their hard-fighting spirit and excellent table fare. When targeting them, focus on dawn and dusk, using live bait like bunker or eels. Artificials like swim shads and topwater plugs work great too. Here's a local tip: watch for diving birds or bait getting pushed to the surface – that's often a sign of stripers feeding below. These fish can be finicky, so matching your presentation to the local bait is key. Once you hook into a big striper, hang on tight – they'll give you a fight you won't soon forget!

Summer Flounder

Summer Flounder, also called fluke, are a staple of Belmar's inshore fishing scene. These flatfish typically run 15-20 inches long, with some doormat-sized fish reaching over 10 pounds. You'll find them on sandy or muddy bottoms in bays, inlets, and along the coast. Fluke fishing really heats up from May through September. Anglers love targeting them for their tasty white meat and the challenge of detecting their subtle bites. When fishing for fluke, use light tackle and focus on areas with moving water – they like to ambush prey in current. Live minnows, mullet, or squid strips work great as bait. Here's a local trick: when you feel a bite, don't set the hook right away. Give the fluke a few seconds to fully take the bait, then reel steadily to set the hook. It's a blast watching these camouflage masters materialize from the bottom when you bring them up!
