4 HOUR BACK BAY FLOUNDER
From May through September, we will be targeting flounder in the bays, channels, creeks, holes, and secret spots where we find them. Light tackle is the way to go to enjoy catching these delicious fish. We use a mix of lures and natural baits. Departure times are customized to fish during optimal conditions and to accommodate your wishes. $450 for 4 hours.
2 HOUR KIDS TRIP
We'll create a memorable experience on the water for you and your kids, fishing and/or crabbing, making lasting memories of good times. We can go fishing and/or crabbing with the main goal of a good time on the water. This is the perfect opportunity to introduce kids to fishing and boating. Please contact us to plan your ideal trip. $250 for 2 hours.
5 HOUR NEARSHORE FLOUNDER
July through September we target flounder in the ocean. During those months flounder set up on the nearshore artificial reefs, wrecks, and other bottom structure to ambush their prey. This is fun fishing with light tackle and a chance for large fish. We'll use a mix of lures and natural baits. Departure times are customized to fish during optimal conditions and to accommodate your wishes. $550 for 5 hours.
5 HOUR NEARSHORE MULTI-SPECIES
These are fun trips. Starting in July, we offer nearshore mixed bag bottom fishing trips (flounder, sea bass, triggerfish, tog). We sometimes encounter bluefish, false albacore, spanish mackerel, and bonito crushing baitfish on the surface and will cast lures to them. The main focus of the trip will be bottom fishing with light tackle. Sharks will sometimes be encountered. We will often see dolphins and sea turtles. Departure times are customized to fish during optimal conditions and to accommodate your wishes. $650 for 5 hours.
6 HOUR SPRING SEA BASS
During spring sea bass season (May - June) we will be running nearshore trips targeting the delicious black sea bass. We hit the reefs and wrecks with a variety of lures and natural baits. Capt Gabe specializes in targeting the big ones with lures on light tackle, to make the most of the sea bass's aggressive nature and enjoy the process of filling the cooler. Don't worry.... natural baits are always on hand if you want to fish that way and sometimes bring them up three at a time. Pricing TBD for 2025 season.
THE SUNRISE SNEAK OUT
This is the trip for you if you want to or need to get an early start. Are you stacked up with family obligations while on vacation? Need to get to work, but you could sneak away for a few hours of fishing early in the day? We can meet before sunrise and head out to get after some flounder, and maybe start with some striped bass and bluefish action on topwater lures. $350 for 3 hours.
Sunset Fishing Cruise
There's something special about watching the sunset from the water. Come aboard for a few hours of relaxed fishing and cruising. We can show you the area from the water, do some fishing, and watch the sunset. Bring along dinner and drinks for a few enjoyable hours on the boat. $350 for 3 hours.
NATURE CRUISES
Coastal Southern NJ is home a to diverse range of birds, reptiles, and marine mammals, such as whales, dolphins and seals. The time of year determines opportunities to observe different species. Seeing the area from the water is a unique experience not to be missed. Contact us to set up your ideal outdoor excursion for birding, photography, or some laid back sightseeing. $100 per hour.
