Fishing Tricks of the Trade

We don't mess around when it comes to putting you on fish. We'll mix it up with trolling, jigging, popping, and live bait fishing to see what's working best. Trolling's great for covering water and tempting those big stripers with swimming plugs. When we mark fish, we might switch to jigging - dropping bucktails or soft plastics right in their faces. If the top water action's hot, we'll break out the poppers and watch those bass explode on the surface. And sometimes, nothing beats a live bunker or eel for enticing the trophy fish. Whatever the fish are in the mood for, we've got the tools and know-how to make it happen.

Target Species Breakdown

Striped Bass: The crown jewel of the Northeast, stripers are what bring anglers back year after year. These powerful fish can top 50 pounds, and they put up a fight that'll test your arms and your drag. Spring and fall are prime time for stripers in Jersey waters, as they migrate along the coast. There's nothing like the thrill of a big cow bass slamming your lure and peeling line off your reel.

Bluefish: When the blues are running, hold onto your rod! These toothy predators are pure muscle and attitude. They'll hit just about anything that moves and fight like their tails are on fire. Bluefish show up in force during the warmer months, often in big schools that can turn the water to foam when they're in a feeding frenzy. They're a blast on light tackle and make for some tasty eating if you know how to prepare them right.

Black Sea Bass: Don't let their size fool you - sea bass are scrappy little brawlers that are a hoot to catch. These bottom-dwellers hang around structure and reefs, and they're suckers for bait and jigs. The bigger "knotheads" can push 5 pounds or more. They're available most of the year, but the action really heats up in the summer and fall. Plus, they're some of the best eating fish in the ocean, so be ready to fire up the grill when you get home.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Our trips aren't just about filling the cooler (though we do our best to make that happen). It's about the whole experience - the rush of a bent rod, the camaraderie on deck, and those "you should've seen it!" stories you'll be telling for years. We've got regulars who've been fishing with us for decades, and first-timers who catch the bug and can't wait to come back. There's something special about being out on the water, away from the grind, with a chance at hooking into the fish of a lifetime.

Learn more about the species

Black Sea Bass

Black sea bass are tasty bottom-dwellers that put up a scrappy fight. Most run 1-4 pounds, with some topping 8. You'll find them around structure like wrecks, reefs and rocky areas, usually in 60-120 feet of water. Late spring through summer is prime time as they move inshore to spawn. Anglers prize sea bass for their mild, flaky white meat. They're fun to catch too, with quick bites and spirited battles. To target them, drop squid or cut bait to the bottom on a simple two-hook rig. Once you find a school, the action can be non-stop. Here's a local tip: if you're not getting bites, move just a short distance - sea bass tend to hang in small areas.

Bluefish

Bluefish are aggressive fighters that'll test your skills. These toothy predators average 5-10 pounds but can reach 20+. You'll find them churning up bait schools in the surf or cruising offshore. Summer's the prime time, with "blitzes" of feeding blues creating a frenzy at the surface. Anglers love blues for their hard-hitting strikes and powerful runs. The meat has a rich flavor that's great smoked or grilled fresh. To get in on the action, look for birds diving on bait. Throw metal lures or live bait and hang on tight - blues hit hard and don't give up easy. Watch those teeth when unhooking them though. For a real thrill, try topwater lures during a blitz.

Striped Bass

Striped bass are a prized catch off the Jersey coast. These powerful fish typically run 20-40 pounds but can grow much larger. Look for stripers near structures like sandbars and drop-offs, often within yards of the shoreline. They love moving water and cooler temperatures. Spring and fall migrations offer prime fishing as the bass follow bait schools. Stripers put up an exciting fight and make excellent eating with their sweet, meaty fillets. For the best shot at landing one, try live bait like herring or eels on a sturdy rod with braided line. Cast early morning or evening when the stripers are feeding near the surface. Nothing beats the thrill of battling a big striper as it surges and dives.
