Water was dirty today. It was a slow start. Hunted clean water and found the fish. Remember it's never over until the fat lady sings
It was a Foggy damp day but I had fun on the water with Paul, Greg and Austin. Austin caught his first Striper and it was a legal size. All the fish caught has been released unharmed. Protecting our future fisheries. Thanks for booking with Diamond Jig Charters.
A couple Stripers from today. Had Captain Barry onboard. Joe has his personal best Spring Striper today. Always fun on the water.
Had Carl, John, Ryan and Tom out catching Stripers today. Always alot of laughs when I have these guys out. They all work for the same police department. Stay safe out there.
Check out the Gizzard Shad in the net. Eleanor had her personal best SJ Spring Striper with me today.
Another day on the water getting it done
The first day of Striper season is a wrap. Caught double digits in 25 mph wind. Not a bad day at all.
2025 Spring Striper season starts tomorrow. We are ready to kick off the season. If you want some good action on light tackle give us a call and book a trip. 856 982 0265
New Jersey Flounder season opens May 2nd. Give us a call at 856 972 0265 to book a charter in the back waters of Avalon NJ
Hunted fish for over two hours before finding them. From the Ocean to the bay to the river. We never give up. New Jersey Striped Bass Fishing is a popular activity that requires patience and persistence. We're always on the hunt for the elusive striped bass.
It's a great time to head out and enjoy some fishing in New Jersey. Striped bass fishing has been quite pretty good. Decide how you want to catch your Striped Bass; you can use live bait, such as bunker or eels, or artificial lures like plugs and jigs. Let's go fishing!
Striper fishing is picking up and will only get better through early December
Another Great day aboard the Diamond Jig. The last three days produced 99 Flounder with 35 keepers. We couldn't ask for a better season

Me and my four teenage boys plus one of their friends went out with Captain Doug. We all caught fish and had an amazing time. I think we caught around 15 fish and one keeper. At the end we fought with a 75 pound cow head stingray for at least 25 minutes and it was awesome! The fight went over our allotted time but Captain Doug let us fight him until he surrendered and was next to the boat. Captain Doug, who is a retired game warden, was also very knowledgeable, open to questions, and extremely friendly. The biggest and best advice I can give anyone reading this is to listen to the Captain about wearing a long sleeve shirt, pants, socks, and shoes. Just deal with the heat. Don’t be like me who wore shorts and flip flops because the greenheads will eat you alive! If you are debating this vs a party boat I would highly recommend going this route. We will definitely be back to fish with Diamond Rig Charters!!!

If you want to catch fish while having a good time, I definitely recommend reserving this boat. The skipper and mate are fantastic folks who will get you hooked up with fish. I had so much fun fishing with them that I scheduled another trip before I even got off the boat. Great fishing and a fantastic staff!!
