If you’re thinking about drum fishing do not wait any longer; there here and bitting. These fish enter the Delaware Bay in Mid April and usually stay around till Mid June; they range from 20-90lbs and put up a great fight on light tackle. These fish can be caught during the day and also at night; we have always felt that the late afternoon to sunset is the best time to go. Not only on this trip will you get to catch a big fish, you will also be able to see a beautiful sunset. These early season Drum trips also can produce catches of Stripers. To Charter the Boat for one of these trips it is $650 for 8hrs up to 6 anglers. Ocassionally we run Open Boat (meaning you can come alone) Charters for these fish and we get $125 a person for 8hrs; if your intrested in this trip or any other deep sea fishing trip in NJ give us a call for avaiablity.

P.S. The Captain is not usually near a computer during the day so, Please Call if you can..Thanks!
Even though the N.M.F.S insist that Mackerel is abundant in the area, just like the last few years we couldn’t find them. On a Bright note though the Delaware Bay Striper fishing is heating up. We heard from other Captains that a few nice sized black drum were also boated this weekend.
Out at the Seabass grounds there were reports of good Seabass catches in the 6 pound range. At the Tile grounds there were good catches of Blueline and Goldens some up to 45-47 pounds. Seems like the Doggies are biting pretty good so far this year. The bait choice for the tiles was squid while the Seabass were biting on Butterfly and Diamond jigs.
So, it looks like were off to a pretty good start and some GREAT fishing as we get closer to May.
We still have good dates for outings available but they are starting to fill up. If you’re thinking about going out Just give the OL’ Captain a call.

Take a kid fishing; they will have memories that will last them a lifetime. If you choose a charter boat these hired captains should be able to put you on the fish; that kids of all will have no problem catching themselves. These family type trips are among my personal favorite, because seeing a kid catch a fish for the first time, is as much fun for me as it is for the parents and grandparents. Believe me these memories will last a lifetime; they did for me. I can still recall being 8 or 9 and fishing with my father, brother, and grandfather; and I’m still hooked that is why I became a captain. With the month of May approaching the SeaBass fishing should start inshore, these fish are great for a family trip, because they can be caught easily and in good numbers and frequently two at a time. So if your looking to spend some quality time with your kids and grandparents this summer, with no interuptions and time they will never forget; just go fishing!

The striper fishing has seemed to slow down in the last few days but these fish are surely not gone yet. Drum fish are now starting to be caught in the Delaware Bay by anglers striper fishing. These fish will be pouring into the bay in the next week or two in great numbers. So if your thinking about doing any deep sea fishing in nj this spring, these are amazing fish to catch as they range from 20-90lbs and are great fighting on light tackle. We still have some weekend dates available so give us a call with any questions pertaining to these fish or if your interested in booking a trip. Also so keep in mind that May is a great month for seabassing.
