The 6-hour timeframe gives you plenty of opportunity to work different spots and techniques without feeling rushed.
Techniques & Tackle
Point Pleasant's inshore waters call for versatile fishing techniques that Captain Jordi has mastered over years of chasing stripers along the Jersey coast. You'll likely be working with live bait presentations, chunking with fresh bunker, or casting lures depending on what the fish are responding to that day. The boat carries everything from circle hooks rigged for live eels to diamond jigs for when the bass are schooled up and feeding aggressively. Jordi reads the water conditions, bait activity, and seasonal patterns to determine the most productive approach for each outing. Light tackle enthusiasts will appreciate the quality spinning gear, while those who prefer conventional reels will find properly spooled outfits ready to go. The captain provides instruction on proper hook sets, fighting techniques, and landing procedures that help ensure more fish make it to the boat. Fresh bait is sourced locally, and the tackle box includes proven Point Pleasant favorites that have accounted for countless stripers over the years.
Species You'll Want to Hook
Striped bass are the crown jewel of New Jersey's inshore fishing scene, and Point Pleasant's waters host some seriously impressive fish throughout the season. These powerful predators can range from schoolie-sized fish perfect for building confidence to trophy-class cows that will test your drag and your patience. Spring and fall migrations bring the most consistent action, with fish moving through these waters in impressive numbers as they follow bait schools along the coast. What makes stripers so appealing is their fighting ability – they make blistering runs, jump when hooked on lighter tackle, and never give up easily. The bigger fish, often called "cows" by local anglers, can exceed 40 inches and provide the kind of battle that gets your heart pumping and leaves your arms sore. These bass are smart, too, which means varying your presentation and staying quiet when they're finicky can make the difference between a good day and a great one. The satisfaction of landing a quality striper on properly presented bait or a well-worked lure is what keeps anglers coming back to these productive waters year after year.
