What to Expect on the Water

Rise and shine, folks! We'll be meeting at the dock bright and early at 6:00 AM. Don't worry, that first cup of coffee will kick in once we're motoring out to the good spots. Our captain knows these waters like the back of his hand, so you can bet we'll be dropping lines where the fish are biting. We'll spend a solid 7 hours hunting for the best bottom-dwelling species Point Pleasant has to offer. The boat's got room for up to 6 anglers, so it's perfect for small groups or families. Just remember to pack your own grub – we'll be too busy fishing to worry about cooking!

Techniques & Gear Rundown

Bottom fishing is all about patience and precision. We'll be using sturdy rods and reels loaded with heavy line to reach those deeper spots where the big ones like to hide. Our go-to rigs include chicken rigs and high-low setups, perfect for presenting multiple baits to hungry fish. We'll show you how to feel for that telltale tap-tap of a bite and when to set the hook for maximum success. Don't sweat it if you're new to this style – our crew will walk you through every step, from baiting up to landing your catch. We've got all the top-notch gear on board, so all you need to bring is your game face and maybe a lucky fishing hat!

Species You'll Want to Hook

Flounder are the flatfish ninjas of the sea, masters of camouflage with both eyes on one side of their head. These tasty bottom-dwellers can grow up to several pounds and put up a surprisingly good fight for their pancake-like shape. Spring and summer are prime time for flounder, and there's nothing quite like the satisfaction of feeling that dead weight on your line turn into a living, thrashing fish as you reel it up from the depths.

Black sea bass are the bruisers of the reef, with their chunky bodies and big, bucket-like mouths. These guys are notorious bait stealers, so a quick hookset is key. They start to show up in good numbers as the water warms in late spring, and they stick around well into the fall. The bigger ones, affectionately called "knuckleheads" by local anglers, can push 5 pounds or more. Sea bass are not only fun to catch but also some of the best eating fish in the ocean – their white, flaky meat is out of this world.

While we're primarily targeting flounder and sea bass, don't be surprised if we hook into some other wreck-dwelling species. Tautog (also known as blackfish) are like the bulldogs of the sea – they'll try to drag you right back into their rocky lairs. Porgies, with their silvery bodies and sharp spines, might show up in good numbers and are excellent eating. And if we're really lucky, we might tangle with some cod or pollock, especially in the cooler months. Each species brings its own challenge and excitement to the day, keeping things interesting from start to finish.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Or perhaps it's the friendly competition on board as everyone vies for the biggest catch of the day. For many, it's the simple pleasure of being out on the water, away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, surrounded by the beauty of the Atlantic. And let's be real – bringing home a cooler full of fresh fish for the dinner table doesn't hurt either! Our trips are designed to give you the full Jersey Shore fishing experience, complete with salty tales from the captain and the chance to make some new fishing buddies.
