Captain Gregory Castellane invites you on an angling adventure in the bountiful waters of New Jersey. You'll start your outing by setting foot on their 24' Mako vessel. Don't let her length fool you, she's a mean, compact fishing machine that can fit 4 anglers plus the crew.

Great trip
Back Bay Fluke - 8:00 AM on July 31, 20262 adults1 child

Capt Greg was fantastic! He made some adjustments to our trip even before we went out to make sure we had the best conditions. Made it out to the reef and were on some fish almost immediately. We caught about 10 flounder, unfortunatley only 1 keeper. But it was great to be out there catching fish. Had my 14 yr old son and 12 year old nephew and he was great with them. Did his best to make sure they had a great day. Even was able to help my nephew get past a little bit of sea sickness he had. I am definitely planning to head back out w/ Capt Greg when the stripers come around. Great experience overall and I highly recommend booking w/ Laurianna.

Reported catch:
Flounder

Capt Greg was awesome
Half Day on July 1, 20264 adults

Kind of a slow bite day but Capt Greg was awesome. Knew where to be and keep our lines on good drifts. Caught enough fish for fun and hit some keepers for dinner.

Captain Gregory Castellane has been guiding customers on exciting fishing trips since 2012 and isn't showing any signs of stopping! He holds a U.S. Coast Guard 100-ton master license. He's also an avid angler who won the Ocean City Marlin & Tuna club Shark Tournament with a massive 346 lb Thresher Shark! Capt. Greg is very hands-on and wants his guests to learn every single thing in the angling process. He says one of the more rewarding things about being a charter captain is teaching kids how to fish and watching them light up when they reel their first one in.
