Hog Moon Fishing is a premier inshore and nearshore fishing charter operating out of Barnegat Bay, New Jersey. Founded and guided by Captain Daniel Dipasquale, a licensed professional with deep local roots, Hog Moon Fishing specializes in a highly technical, lure-only approach to light tackle angling. Launching conveniently from Bobbie’s Boats Bait & Tackle at 701 Bayview Avenue, the business provides personalized trips for anglers who appreciate stealth, advanced electronic tracking, and precision casting.

Unlike standard charters that rely on live bait or crowded fishing spots, Captain Daniel focuses on the extensive estuaries, shallow flats, and quiet marshes of the bay. Utilizing high-end side-scan technology and a trolling motor, the charter tracks down prime local species, including striped bass, summer flounder (fluke), bluefish, and spotted weakfish. Our primary techniques center on topwater plugs, specialized jig heads, and soft plastics, making it an ideal choice for both seasoned anglers and those looking to improve their artificial lure presentation.

The charter operates an immaculate 21-foot SE Parker Center Console, powered by a highly reliable 2024 Yamaha 200HP 4-stroke engine capable of cruising at 40 knots. This ensures guests spend less time traveling and more time casting. While the peak season runs from June through September with a variety of morning, afternoon, and evening back-bay trips, Hog Moon Fishing also features highly sought-after fall ocean striped bass trips along the beaches from November to early December. For families and visitors looking to enjoy the local scenery of Long Beach Island without the fishing rods, relaxing 2-hour sunset and wildlife cruises are also available year-round.

Premium rods, reels, and specialized artificial tackle are provided, and a 2-day cancellation policy ensures booking flexibility. Guests are simply required to bring their New Jersey saltwater fishing license to complete a seamless day on the water.
