Looking for a solid day on the water targeting some of New Jersey's finest gamefish? This private 4-hour charter puts you and up to 5 friends right where the action is. We're talking about prime striped bass territory, just a quick 10-minute run from the dock, which means more time with lines in the water and less time burning fuel. Whether you're a seasoned angler or bringing the kids for their first real fishing adventure, this top-rated trip delivers consistent action in some of the most productive inshore waters along the Jersey coast.
Your adventure kicks off at one of New Jersey's premier fishing ports, where you'll meet your captain and get the rundown on the day's game plan. The beauty of this charter is the flexibility – we're set up for whatever method gets fish in the boat. Got a crew that loves casting lures? Perfect. Prefer to sit back and let the bait do the work? We've got you covered. The boat's rigged for everything from live-lining bunker to throwing topwater plugs, and your captain will adjust tactics based on what the fish are telling us. The 4-hour window gives us plenty of time to work different spots without feeling rushed, and starting just 10 minutes from the marina means we maximize our fishing time instead of spending half the trip traveling to the grounds.
New Jersey's inshore waters offer some of the most versatile fishing on the East Coast, and this charter takes full advantage of that diversity. We'll work everything from shallow flats to deeper channels, adjusting our approach based on tides, bait movement, and what's been producing. Live-lining fresh bunker or herring is often the ticket for big stripers, but don't be surprised if we switch to jigging when we mark schools on the fish finder. For those who love the visual excitement, topwater action can be absolutely electric when conditions align – there's nothing quite like watching a 20-pound striper blow up on a surface plug. Bottom fishing with fresh bait works great for both stripers and blues, especially around structure where these fish love to ambush prey. Your captain carries a full spread of tackle, from light spinning gear for finesse presentations to heavier outfits when we need to get down deep or handle larger fish.
Striped bass are the crown jewel of New Jersey's inshore fishery, and for good reason. These silver-sided fighters are available year-round in our waters, with peak action typically running from April through November. Spring and fall migrations bring some of the largest fish, often ranging from 20 to 40 pounds, though schoolie bass in the 18 to 28-inch range provide consistent action throughout the warmer months. What makes stripers so special is their willingness to hit everything from live bait to artificial lures, plus their fighting ability – they'll make multiple runs, often jumping and thrashing at the surface. The best part? New Jersey's slot limits ensure a healthy population while still allowing anglers to keep a few quality fish for the dinner table.
Bluefish add serious excitement to any New Jersey fishing trip, and they're often mixed right in with the stripers. These aggressive predators hit hard and fight harder, with their razor-sharp teeth and never-give-up attitude. Blues typically show up in good numbers during summer months, ranging from smaller "snappers" perfect for light tackle fun to larger chopper blues that can stretch the tape past 15 pounds. They're excellent table fare when handled properly – bleed them immediately and keep them cold. What anglers love most about bluefish is their aggressive nature; when you find a feeding school, the action can be fast and furious with multiple hookups common. They'll hit just about any lure or bait you throw at them, making them perfect for less experienced anglers who want guaranteed action.

Pomatomus SaltatrixBluefish are pure aggression with fins - these blue-green torpedoes averaging 3-10 pounds will attack anything that moves. They roam our nearshore waters in schools, often mixing with stripers around the same structure and depths. Summer into early fall is prime time when they're feeding heavily before their southern migration. What guests love about blues is their willingness to bite and their fierce fight once hooked. They're excellent eating when fresh, with rich, flaky meat that's perfect grilled. Fair warning - those razor-sharp teeth mean business, so bring a good grip and wire leaders. Pro tip: when you find one bluefish, there's usually a whole school nearby. Keep your lures moving fast and be ready for multiple hookups during their famous feeding frenzies.
Morone SaxatilisStripers are New Jersey's crown jewel - these silver beauties with their distinctive black stripes can reach 20-40 pounds and put up one heck of a fight. You'll find them around structure like jetties, drop-offs, and sandy bottoms, typically in 10-50 feet of water. Spring through fall migration brings the best action, especially during moving water on the incoming tide. What makes them special? They're smart fighters that'll test your drag and make fantastic table fare with sweet, flaky meat. The key here in Jersey waters is matching your bait to what they're feeding on - bunker chunks work great, but when you see birds diving, switch to a pencil popper and cast right into the chaos. These fish follow the bait schools, so stay alert and mobile.
