WATER DOG FISHING CHARTERS
AVALON, NJ
FISHING FUN FOR EVERYONE
We offer back bay and ocean fishing charters and nature tours on the beautiful waters surrounding Sea Isle, Avalon,
and Stone Harbor, NJ.
We’ve got fish with your name on them and can’t wait to see you catch them! Your guide, Captain Gabe, brings decades of knowledge and experience, including over 20 years of service in the U.S. Coast Guard. Gabe has been a licensed charter boat captain since 2002.
​
You’ll be fishing onboard a 21' center console, with a quiet 2024 Yamaha four-stroke outboard, and outfitted with modern electronics networked to a Minn Kota trolling motor. We can accommodate four passengers/anglers.
​
Depending on the time of year, you can pursue Striped Bass, Bluefish, Bonito, Flounder, False Albacore, Porgy, Black Seabass, Tog, Spanish Mackerel, Triggerfish, Weakfish, and more. ​
​
Planning a family adventure? Kids are more than welcome!
The charter boat covers your fishing license, so all you have to do is bring snacks, drinks and whatever else you want to be comfortable and have a good time. Your captain will provide rods and reels and all other needed gear. ​After the catch, Capt Gabe will meticulously clean your fish for enjoyment at the table.
​
Is fishing not your thing? That’s no reason to stay off the water. There are beautiful sights to see, including unique bird species and dolphins. Observing what the area has to offer from the water is a special experience not to be missed. Let your captain do the navigating while you kick back and see the sights.

"Gabe was an awesome guide. My son and I had a great time on our trip. Gabe made the experience even more enjoyable due to his great personality and knowledge. By far the best guide I have been with in my fishing experience." Jeff L.
"Captain Berkey was a very good host. He made us feel very welcome and comfortable. Made it very clear the day was ours to spend however we wanted. We caught quite a few flounder and a few other varieties. The boat was very clean and well maintained. Definitely would recommend and go with him next time in the area." Matthew L.
“ Capt. Gabe’s knowledge of the area and structure on the bottom is extremely evident. He put us right on the flounder and when we were lucky enough to get our limit we went looking for triggerfish. When we saw some birds and baitfish, he was even ready to throw some metal for bluefish. He was prepared for whatever the day provided and sent us home with a cooler of fish. We've had some great sea bass trips too, catching limits on lures” Eric U.
“ Water Dog Fishing Charters is top notch. I’ve been on a few trips with Captain Gabe. He’s a great guy as well as a great guide. His knowledge of the back bay and fishing expertise put keeper flatties in the cooler on our first trip. My favorite trips were offshore reef and wreck fishing for black bass and tog. He’s got it all figured out !!! Caught my first trigger fish on our second trip!! Gabe’s boat is awesome and his equipment is the top shelf. But most importantly, Gabe is fun to fish with!!” Dan M.
