Sligo Sportfishing
Sligo Sportfishing
Sligo Sportfishing invites you to enjoy high-end angling experience out of Point Pleasant, New Jersey. The company is run and operated by Capt. Anthony O’Donnell, a native fisherman with a decade of professional experience.
Join him aboard the ‘Sligo’, a brand new 2022 42’ Henriques Flybridge boat. She is a spacious vessel, equipped with the latest fish-finding and navigational electronics. The Sligo comes powered by twin 715 Cummins engines and can cruise at a hair-raising speed of 35 knots. Not to mention the infamous sea keeper gyro on both of our vessels! No more sea sickness!
The Sligo has plenty of fishing space for up to 6 anglers. She also features an air-conditioned cabin and a restroom for your maximum comfort while spending your day on the water. All aboard!
With Capt. Anthony, you will be able to find a trip that suits your personal needs. If you want to wet a line without having to go too far out, battle trophy Striped Bass, massive Flounder, Bluefish, Sharks, and even Bluefin Tuna.
For those who are up to a challenge and have the itch to fish, there is a selection of overnight packages that will take you trolling for Blue and White Marlin, Mahi Mahi, Albacore Tuna, Yellowfin Tuna, and Bigeye Tuna to name a few.
All trip prices include fuel, tackle, bait, and ice. Your captain will supply a selection of lures, fishing licenses, and drinks. Tip for the Mate is not included, so make sure to leave one. You will begin your trip by catching live bait.

I booked with Sligo Sport Fishing after reading reviews. They were awesome from start to finish. Our original date to go out was questionable as far as weather. The owner Capt Anthony was quick to find new dates and kept in touch with me as far as his thoughts on the fishing and weather. 5/22/24 was the date we selected and it couldn’t have been better. We had the pleasure of Captain KC and mate Kenny. What a great combo. We were on the fish from start to finish. They were sure to make sure everyone was having a great time. Overall experience was excellent. We have already committed to a fall trip with this crew. Thanks Capt Anthony, Capt KC & Kenny

Had a Great Time
I booked the 6-hour fishing trip for my husband’s birthday. Captain Anthony was quick to respond to any questions that I had as I had never done this before. We had a great time fishing. We caught a ton of fish. The Captain and his first mate were very knowledgeable of the fish we were catching, and the technique to catch them, and seemed to know their way around the water. They were quick to get the fish off of our line and rebait it for us. The boat was beautiful. We will be booking another trip with them next year, hopefully a longer one.

SUMMER INSHORE SPECIAL
5 hour trip with Captain Anthony and Crew Anthony
I have to say Captain Anthony provided us a first class experience. From the very beginning, communication was straight forward and pleasant. When we arrived, we were pleasantly greeted by the captain and crew who were standing on a brand new sport fishing yacht. We were pleased and excited to say the least. Cap put us on fish from the very first line drop, literally. Anthony, the boats mate really gave us a pleasant experience with his advice and attention to detail. We were fishing non stop and reset quickly every time needed. I have been on other boats, this attention is not found elsewhere at this caliber. We maxed out on fish shortly there after where the captain and crew quickly shifted gears to begin trolling for other species. I gotta say SLIGO fishing is pleasant and professional and gave us an amazing experience. Solid operation. I don’t often review but these guys are 6 stars! We are looking forward to our next trip which will be offshore tuna.
