What's the Deal?

Listen up, anglers! We're not messing around with this trip. We're talking a full day (and night) out on the big blue, targeting the cream of the crop in offshore game fish. We'll be cruising out to the famed Hudson Canyon, Lindenkol Canyon, and The Toms - some of the hottest fishing grounds on the East Coast. These underwater canyons are like fish superhighways, and we know just where to set up shop. You'll be dropping lines for yellowfin tuna, bluefin tuna, and a whole host of other hard-fighting pelagics. It's not for the faint of heart, but if you're up for the challenge, the payoff can be massive. Just imagine the stories you'll tell (and the photos you'll show off) after landing a 100+ pound tuna!

How We Roll on the Water

Alright, here's the lowdown on how we fish these deep waters. We'll be using a mix of techniques to maximize our chances of hooking up. Expect to do some trolling with spreader bars and daisy chains to cover water and attract the big predators. When we mark fish on the sonar or spot birds working, we'll switch gears and start chunking - that's when the real excitement begins. We'll also have some kites out when conditions allow, presenting live baits on the surface that big tuna and marlin just can't resist. Our boat's decked out with top-notch gear, but feel free to bring your own favorite setup if you've got one. Just remember, out here, you need heavy tackle - we're talking 50-80 pound class rods and reels spooled with braided line. This ain't no pond fishing, folks!

Species You'll Want to Hook

Let's talk about the stars of the show - the fish you're after on this epic journey. First up, the yellowfin tuna. These torpedoes with fins are the bread and butter of offshore fishing in NJ. They school up in good numbers from June through October, with some real bruisers in the 60-100 pound range not uncommon. Yellowfin fight like crazy, making blistering runs that'll have your drag screaming. And don't even get me started on how good they taste - sashimi anyone?

Next, we've got the bluefin tuna. These are the heavyweights of the tuna world, and hooking one is like being tied to a freight train. We see them mostly in the early summer and late fall, with some true giants pushing 500+ pounds possible. Landing a bluefin is a team effort and an experience you'll never forget.

Don't sleep on the mahi-mahi (dolphinfish) either. These acrobatic beauties light up the water with their electric blue and gold colors. They're often found near floating debris or weedlines, and they're not just fun to catch - they're delicious too. Peak season is July through September.

Blue marlin are the holy grail for many offshore anglers. These majestic fighters are known for their spectacular aerial displays and can reach sizes over 1,000 pounds. While they're not as common as tuna, when one crashes the spread, it's pure chaos and excitement. August and September are prime time for blues off NJ.

Last but not least, wahoo. These speed demons are like the cheetahs of the sea, capable of short bursts up to 60 mph. They've got a mouthful of razor-sharp teeth and put up one heck of a fight. We tend to see them more in the late summer and early fall, often while trolling for tuna.
