Looking for some serious action off New Jersey's coast? You've found the right crew. Captain and the team at Chasin'tail Sportfishing know exactly where the stripers are running, and they're ready to put you on fish. This 6-hour charter targets one of the Atlantic's most sought-after gamefish in waters that have been producing trophy striped bass for decades. With room for up to 4 anglers, you'll get personalized attention and plenty of elbow room to work your gear. We're talking about real fishing here – the kind where your drag screams and your arms burn.
Your day starts early at the dock, where you'll meet your captain who's been working these waters for years. The boat is rigged and ready with top-shelf tackle, fresh bait, and all the gear you need to tangle with Jersey's famous stripers. We'll cruise out to the prime feeding zones where these fish congregate – could be structure, could be bait schools, depends on what the fish are telling us that day. The beauty of a 6-hour trip is we've got time to move around and find the bite. Your captain reads the water like a book, watching for birds working, bait on the sonar, and all the telltale signs that spell "fish on." Pack your own lunch and drinks since meals aren't included – you'll want to stay fueled for the action ahead.
We run a mix of techniques depending on conditions and where the fish are holding. Live bait fishing with bunker, herring, or eels is deadly when the stripers are feeding heavy. You'll also work with artificials – bucktails, swimbaits, and topwater plugs that drive these fish absolutely wild. The boat carries medium-heavy spinning gear and conventional setups that can handle fish from schoolies up to real cows. When we're working structure or deeper water, we might drop jigs or fish cut bait on the bottom. Your captain will set you up with the right rod and explain the technique – whether you're a weekend warrior or someone who's never held a fishing rod, we'll get you dialed in. The key is staying alert because striped bass hit fast and fight harder.
Striped bass are the crown jewel of New Jersey's inshore fishery, and for good reason. These fish are built like torpedoes and fight like they mean it. You'll find them ranging from 18-inch schoolies that are fun on light tackle up to 40-plus-pound monsters that'll test every knot you tied. Spring and fall are prime time when big fish move through our waters following massive bait schools. Stripers are smart, which makes them challenging – they'll inspect your bait, test your drag, and use every trick in the book to throw your hook. But when you connect with a good one, especially on topwater, it's pure magic. These fish jump, make long runs, and never quit until they're in the boat. The bigger females, called cows, are the real prize – thick-bodied fish that can easily hit 30, 40, even 50 pounds in our waters.
