Atlantic City Inshore Fishing Frenzy: A Bluewater Bonanza

May 24, 2025

What a day we had out on the water with Eric and the crew! Fishing in the Atlantic City area is hard to beat, especially in July. The warm summer weather brings the fish close to shore, and today we took full advantage with a killer Inshore Fishing Charter. The conditions were a little tricky, with some passing rain and partly cloudy skies, but the fish didn't seem to mind one bit. We started the day casting lures and working the shoreline, targeting those feisty Striped Bass and hard-fighting Bluefish. The action was steady, and the crew stayed busy reeling in fish after fish. A few jigging and deep sea spots produced some nice California Flounder as well, putting up a great fight on the light tackle. The kite fishing also proved to be productive, with the Bluefish crashing the surface and slashing at our baits. It was nonstop action, keeping us on our toes and smiles plastered on our faces. Throughout the day, we mixed up the techniques—trolling, drifting, and even some heavy tackle work for the bigger fish. The variety of approaches and constant bites made this one of the most well-rounded and exciting Inshore Fishing Charters we've had in a long time. Not only did we get to target a great mix of species, but the whole crew was dialed in and working together seamlessly. It's those types of trips that really stick with you. If you're looking to experience the best Inshore Fishing Atlantic City, NJ has to offer, I can't recommend Jessie James Charters enough. Whether you're an experienced angler or just getting into fishing, our 4-Hour, 6-Hour, or 8-Hour Fishing Charters will have you hooked. From Striped Bass and Bluefish to Flounder and more, we'll put you on the fish and make sure you have a blast doing it. Book your trip today and get ready for an unforgettable day on the water!

12-Hour Atlantic City Offshore Fishing Adventure

May 13, 2025

What a day we had out on the water with Nathaniel and the crew! This was our 12-Hour Atlantic City Charter Fishing trip, and we truly unleashed the thrills of offshore fishing. October is a prime time for big game action around Atlantic City, with the cool fall waters drawing in trophy Striped Bass and other hard-fighting species. The conditions were looking great - a bit cloudy in the afternoon, but the water was in excellent shape, perfect for locating our targets. As soon as we got the lines out, the rods started bending. Nathaniel was the first to hook up, and he put up one heck of a fight with a nice Striped Bass. That fish made some incredible runs, testing his drag, but he stayed patient and landed it beautifully. The rest of the group was equally dialed in, and we started filling the cooler with more quality Striped Bass. We mixed up the techniques, going deep-sea, jigging, and trolling to cover different parts of the water column. The light tackle rigs were a blast, and the kite fishing was especially exciting, with fish smashing the baits as they danced on the surface. By the time we started heading back in, we had a solid day's catch that had the whole crew pumped. Not only did we hook into some great fish, but we also got to share a lot of laughs and just enjoy being out on the water together. That's what makes these long offshore trips so special - the camaraderie, the thrill of the hunt, and the satisfaction of bringing home a quality haul. Nathaniel and the group were awesome to have on board, and I know they're already counting down the days until their next trip. If you're searching for the ultimate offshore fishing adventure in Atlantic City, NJ, look no further than the 12-Hour Atlantic City Charter Fishing trip with Jessie James Charters. Whether you're after trophy Striped Bass, hard-fighting Tuna, or any of the other incredible gamefish that call these waters home, our experienced team will put you on the fish and make sure you have the time of your life. We've got the know-how, the gear, and the passion to deliver an unforgettable day on the water. So what are you waiting for?

Striped Bass Blitz: A Thrilling Atlantic City Inshore Fishing Expedition

May 12, 2025

As soon as we got the lines in, the action started. We covered a lot of water, working different depths and techniques like DeepSea, Jigging, Trolling, Heavy Tackle, Kite Fishing, Light Tackle, and Drift Fishing to find where the fish were holding. It wasn't long before we started connecting, with some solid Striped Bass coming over the rails. These are such a fun, powerful inshore species, putting up an incredible fight every time they hit. We had a blast working the rods and reels, setting the hook and watching those big bass come thrashing to the surface. The weather was perfect - partly cloudy skies and great water conditions had us feeling confident we'd find the fish. And we did, catching a nice mix of Stripers throughout the day. Even when the bite slowed a bit, we just kept working, trying new spots and adjusting our approach. That's the beauty of a full-day inshore trip - you have the time and flexibility to really get dialed in and find the fish. Between the steady action and the good company, it was just an all-around great day on the water. If you're looking to experience some of the best inshore fishing the Atlantic City area has to offer, I can't recommend Jessie James Charters enough. Whether you want to chase Striped Bass, or you're hoping to target other inshore species, their Fishing Charters In Atlantic City | 4 To 8 Hour Charter Trips have you covered. The captains are true experts, the boats are top-notch, and they know how to put you on the fish. So if you're ready to unleash the angler within and enjoy an epic bay and nearshore fishing adventure, get in touch and let's get you out on the water!

July 26, 2025

Drift fishing for flounder in the bay kept us busy all morning. We brought in six solid keepers and released around fifty more. The captain and mate were excellent—made for a great morning on the water with the family.

Captain Mark treated us like family from the moment we stepped aboard. Even though it wasn’t the best day for fishing conditions, he still put us on the fish and shared some of his favorite flounder spots. His passion for what he does was obvious, and his crewmate Kurt brought great energy and care; especially when it came to making sure my grandfather was comfortable and included in the fun. We ended up with some keepers, and Captain Mark filleted them right there at the dock, even offering tips on how to best cook them. The experience was exceptional in every sense of the word. If you’re thinking about booking a charter, do it with these guys. You won’t regret it.
