PrimeTime Fishing Charters
Whether you're looking for the reel-screaming thrill of fighting a trophy-sized fish or you want to provide your family a relaxing day spent outdoors, PrimeTime Fishing Charters has a trip for you! Captain Karl McKenna will put you on the hottest bite in the waters of New Jersey.
You'll fish from a 20' Grady White walkaround, built in 1990. She's proven the quality of her build time again and again and still takes anglers with the same gusto as the day she was launched. She can handle 2 anglers and the captain at the same time. The engine is a 200 HP Yamaha outboard that'll get you to your fishing grounds quickly.
Capt. Karl will provide you with the equipment and instruction for a wide range of fishing techniques. You'll do bottom fishing, trolling, jigging, spinning, and drift fishing with conventional or fly rods. You should bring your own fly rods, though.
This mix of techniques is there for a reason; there's a great variety of species to target. Striped Bass, Flounder, Tautog, Ling, Bluefish, Scup, and whatever else you run into can be hooked up.
Remember to pack a cooler for your catch, the captain will clean and fillet your fish free of charge. Fishing licenses aren't needed, the captain's license will cover you. Later departure times are available upon request.
Explore the waters of New Jersey the right way. Book a trip with PrimeTime Fishing Charters and cast off on a fishing adventure!

Captain McKenna is an awesome dude. Very knowledgeable, and as excited to see you catch fish as you will be to catch them. Put me and my son right on the fish in a few different spots. Was happy to answer any questions we had and went above and beyond to make sure my son had the best birthday. We will be back to fish with him.
Terrence. thanks for the nice review. I enjoyed having you and the birthday boy on board. the competition was fierce and fun to watch. looking forward to seeing you for the spring Striper run in April.
Captain Karl was fantastic! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and worked hard to make sure we had a great time on the water. The boat was clean, everything was well organized, and he knew exactly where to find the fish. Whether you’re a beginner or experienced, I highly recommend booking a trip with Captain Karl. We’ll definitely be back!
thank you Alex for the nice review. I enjoyed having you guys on the boat and hope to see you in the spring for the spring Striper run.
Capt. Karl was cool and patient with children and novice anglers. He got us on fish and was a phenominal teacher showing us the ropes to snag our targeted fish. I’d recommend and I’m looking forward to doing another trip in the future. thanks Capt!
