Join us as we search the Delaware Bay and the cool Atlantic waters for the beautiful striped bass. Fishing for striped bass takes time and patience and it’s important to come prepared. If you book this trip, please call ahead within one week of your trip for direction on the type of fishing we are doing so we can give you all the necessary information.
Improve your skills with the specialized techniques used in striped bass fishing!
Our expert crew will be on hand to show you all the techniques and give advice if required.
Enjoy your full day out fishing with beautiful scenery, a chance to spot some local wildlife, and hopefully land some big fish.
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 evening’s trip! We’ll get underway promptly at 7 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.
Striped bass fishing in NJ is a specialized type of fishing. The techniques employed vary from drifting eels to trolling niners and plugs, chunking bunker, working behind clam boats, casting bucktails and jigs, on the surface, on the bottom, in the rips, up the bay, and under birds. It is important to be prepared. If you book this trip, please call ahead for direction on the type of fishing we are doing, within a week of your trip.
During the trip home, the crew weighs up the pool and cleans any catch which was of legal size to keep. It is also another opportunity to sightsee.
