Setting out from Barnegat, Tommyboy Fishing Charters is your gateway to some of the best fishing New Jersey has to offer. Thanks to its prime location, you can explore the calm inshore bays, winding backwaters, and productive inlets protected by jetties and barrier islands, or head offshore up to 25 miles in search of bigger game. With more than 25 years of experience on these waters, Captain Thomas Welsh is the perfect guide to take you on a fishing adventure you won’t forget.

Trips are run aboard a 26’ Pursuit center console, a boat built to handle both shallow waters and choppier seas with ease. Twin 200 HP Suzuki engines push her up to 35 knots, making sure you spend less time cruising and more time fishing. Comfort and safety come first on board, with a private toilet, ice box for food and drinks, and all required safety gear ready to go. Whether you’re drifting through back bays or chasing fast-moving fish along the coast, this vessel is designed to get the job done.

Striped Bass are the star of the show here, and it’s easy to see why. They’re powerful fighters, delicious to eat, and abundant in these waters throughout much of the season. On every trip, you’ll have top-quality rods, reels, lures, and tackle waiting for you, along with fresh live bait to give you the best shot at success. If you venture further offshore, the opportunity to target larger species adds even more excitement to the day. From casting near jetties for Bass to testing your skills against ocean predators, the action is nonstop.

Children aged 7 and up are welcome to join in, and life jackets suited to their size will be provided. Capt. Tom prides himself on being a fun, easy-going captain who truly enjoys sharing his passion for fishing with others. He’s just as happy teaching first-timers the basics as he is swapping stories with seasoned anglers. While beer is welcome on board, hard liquor is not, ensuring everyone has a safe and enjoyable trip. Between the fishing action, the sight of the Atlantic stretching out in front of you, and the Jersey shoreline behind, it’s an experience you’ll treasure long after you step off the boat.

If you’re ready for a day filled with excitement, great fishing, and memories made on the water, Tommyboy Fishing Charters is the name to remember. With Capt. Tom at the helm, you’re not just booking a trip—you’re joining a captain who has dedicated his life to these waters and can’t wait to show you why New Jersey fishing is second to none.
