Reel in the Action: NJ Inshore Fishing Adventure

Get ready to feel the tug on your line as we cruise the coastal waters of New Jersey for some primo inshore fishing. Our half-day trip is all about putting you on the fish and making memories that'll have you itching to come back. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just getting your feet wet, we've got the know-how to make sure everyone has a blast reeling in the big ones.

Trip Overview

Jump aboard the Prime Time II for a morning of non-stop fishing action. We're talking about trolling for hard-fighting bluefish, speedy Spanish mackerel, and the always exciting bonito. Our experienced crew knows these waters like the back of their hand, and we're all about adapting on the fly to keep those rods bent. You'll be back at the dock by noon with a cooler full of fish and stories to spare. And the best part? We'll clean and fillet your catch, so you can head straight to the grill or your favorite seafood joint to savor the fruits of your labor.

Trolling Tactics

On this trip, we're all about trolling – the bread and butter of inshore fishing. We'll set up a spread of lines behind the boat, each rigged with lures or bait that'll make those fish go nuts. As we cruise along at the perfect speed, those lures will dance through the water, mimicking injured baitfish and triggering the predator instinct in our target species. It's a game of patience and excitement, and when that reel starts screaming, you'll know why anglers live for this stuff. Our crew will be right there to coach you through the fight, whether you're a first-timer or an old salt.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Pacific Bonito: Don't let the name fool you – these speedsters are right at home in the Atlantic too. Bonito are like mini tunas, built for speed and known for their powerful runs. They typically show up in our waters from late spring through fall, chasing schools of baitfish. When you hook into one, be ready for a fight that'll test your drag and your biceps. Anglers love targeting bonito because they're not only fun to catch but also make for some tasty eating, especially when grilled fresh.

Spanish Mackerel: These sleek predators are the sprinters of the sea. With their torpedo-shaped bodies and razor-sharp teeth, Spanish mackerel are built for chasing down fast-moving prey. We usually see them from late spring through early fall, when the water warms up. They're known for their blistering runs and aerial acrobatics when hooked. Light tackle enthusiasts go nuts for these fish, as they provide an exciting challenge on spinning gear. Plus, they're delicious when prepared fresh, making them a favorite for the dinner table.

Bluefish: If you're looking for a fish that fights like it's got something to prove, look no further than the bluefish. These chompers are the bullies of the inshore waters, with a mouth full of sharp teeth and an attitude to match. Blues can show up any time from spring through fall, often in big schools that create surface-busting frenzies. When you hook one, hang on tight – they're known for powerful runs and even jumping clear out of the water. Bluefish might not win any beauty contests, but they more than make up for it with their aggressive strikes and tenacious fights.
