Join Us Wreck Fishing in
Cape May!

The wrecks and other structures offshore of Cape May, NJ and Wildwood, NJ offer up an amazing selection of fish year-round. Our Wreck Special is an all-day trip affording the seasoned crew of the Miss Chris maximum time to dial in on the wrecks. Sea bass, taug, and other species can be found among the wrecks we’ll fish on. Trips have limited capacity at 30 people max. to keep the boat comfortable. We can’t wait to fish with you!

Overview

What You'll See & Do

Once you’ve arrived at the harbor, pick up your tickets at the Cape May Whale Watcher Red Ticket Booth and Gift Shop. Once aboard, pick up your rod rental (if applicable) then choose your seat for the day’s trip! We’ll get underway promptly at 8 AM while the captain provides a brief overview of the area, what fish to expect, and the itinerary. Then you sit back and relax while enjoying the brief ride to the fishing grounds. You can sightsee on the way and you may spy some Atlantic bottlenose dolphins, bald eagles, and maybe even a humpback whale.

Wreck fishing is a specialty. It consists of both drift fishing and anchoring on specific “pieces” of structure. Sometimes, conditions change and wrecks can be barren, in such cases, the boat must move and this should not discourage anglers. Moving means the captain has better information for the next wreck. Also, since we are fishing around structures, be prepared to lose weights, rigs, and line. The crew is prepared to assist, but you may want to bring extra gear for the extended day. Each hand-tied rig and weight costs around $3.50 to make and we can sell them to you, but the Miss Chris Tackle shop has an assortment for sale prior to departure at very competitive prices.

During the trip home the crew weighs up the pool and cleans any catch which is of legal size to keep. It is also another opportunity to sightsee. As the original Seaside Resort, the history of Cape May is rich and the Cape May Lighthouse, Cape May Harbor, and the United States Coast Guard Training Center are among the highlights along our route.
