Captain Ryan knows these New Jersey waters like the back of his hand, and he's ready to show you why anglers keep coming back to this stretch of coastline. This top-rated half day charter gives you five solid hours to work the inshore grounds where Striped Bass, Fluke, Sea Bass, and Bluefish call home. With space for up to four guests, you'll get the personal attention that makes all the difference between a good day and a great day on the water. Whether you're a weekend warrior or just getting your feet wet in saltwater fishing, Captain Ryan tailors the trip to match your crew's experience level.
You'll meet Captain Ryan at the dock bright and early, where his well-maintained boat sits ready with everything you need for a productive day. The beauty of New Jersey's inshore fishing is the variety - one minute you're working structure for Sea Bass, the next you're drifting over sandy bottom targeting Fluke. Captain Ryan reads the conditions and adjusts the game plan accordingly, whether that means hitting the back bays when the ocean's rough or running out to deeper water when the bite is hot offshore. The scenery along this coastline is something else - you'll cruise past historic lighthouses, pristine beaches, and maybe catch a glimpse of dolphins working the same waters you're fishing. This isn't just about filling the cooler; it's about soaking in everything New Jersey's coast has to offer while you wait for that rod tip to bounce.
Captain Ryan keeps his boat stocked with quality spinning and conventional tackle sized right for the species you'll be targeting. For Striped Bass, you'll likely be throwing live bait or working plugs and soft plastics around structure. When the Fluke bite is on, it's all about feeling that subtle tap as you bounce a bucktail and strip tease across the bottom. Sea Bass fishing means dropping down to rocky structure with hi-lo rigs and circle hooks - these guys don't mess around when they eat, so you'll know when you're hooked up. Captain Ryan provides all the gear, bait, and local knowledge, but feel free to bring your own rods if you've got favorites. He'll have you rigged up with the right presentations for the conditions, whether that's live bunker for big Stripers or fresh clams for Sea Bass. The boat's equipped with modern electronics to locate fish and structure, plus a comfortable fishing platform that gives everyone room to work without getting tangled up.
Striped Bass are the crown jewel of New Jersey inshore fishing, and for good reason. These silver-sided fighters can range anywhere from schoolie size up to trophy class, with the best action typically running from April through November. Stripers are smart fish that relate to structure, current, and bait movements - they'll test your drag and give you a fight you won't forget. What makes them special here is their year-round presence in varying sizes and their willingness to eat everything from live eels to topwater plugs. Captain Ryan knows the seasonal patterns and will put you on fish whether they're feeding in the surf, around bridge pilings, or over submerged structure. The thrill of watching a Striper blow up on a surface plug or feeling that distinctive head shake on the other end of your line is what keeps anglers coming back to these waters season after season. Peak times vary, but spring and fall migrations often produce the most consistent action with better-sized fish.
This customer favorite trip books up quickly, especially during prime fishing season when the Striped Bass are running thick and the weather's cooperating. Captain Ryan's reputation for putting clients on fish and showing them a good time has made this one of the most sought-after charters along the New Jersey coast. The combination of world-class fishing and scenic coastline views creates the perfect balance for anyone looking to experience the best of what these waters offer.

Don't wait too long to secure your spot - the fish are biting, and this half day adventure is exactly what your fishing calendar needs.
