Join Heavy Hitter and score a home run with Captain George Smith, aboard his 37' Bertram sportfisher built for serious fishing.Once you hit the open waters, you'll be pleasantly surprised with the classic Bertram ride. Cape May, NJ is perhaps one of the most underrated fishing destinations in the US and provides some of the best action for anglers of all levels of experience.

The captain's boat is just the vessel you want for an offshore excursion. She comes fully stocked with state-of-the-art navigational systems and electronics, outriggers and downriggers, a flybridge, private head, bed, and kitchen. She's also wheelchair accessible, equipped with all necessary safety equipment, and safe for children of all ages. The captain can take up to 6 people per trip and each person can fish at the same time.

Once you reach the offshore fishing grounds, you'll be trolling/chunking for a range of pelagics, such as White Marlin, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Yellowfin, and Bluefin Tuna. For your inshore trips, Capt. George will take you on an epic battle against some hard-fighters like Striped Bass, Bluefish, and Back Drum. Some other species you can target include Spanish Mackerel, Black Seabass, and Triggerfish as well. Each trip includes top-quality Penn and Shimano rods and reels, live bait, lures, and a first mate to assist you with anything you need.

Gear into action and get ready for Heavy Hitter Sportfishing to show you what big game fishing is all about! Your fishing license is included in the trip, so you can focus more on the fishing and less about the logistics. Everything is taken care of, all you need to do is book your trip, bring some snacks, drinks, comfortable clothing, and let Capt. George show you a great time!

    Truly a blessed day!!!

    Half Day Trip (PM) – Trolling on July 20, 2026 • 1 adult

    CAPTAIN GEORGE AND MATE MORROW put me expertly on top of some of the best FISHING, I’ve experienced in YEARS!! Each and every Box of an EPIC Day fishing was checked off 3 times over. From Crew and Boat to Tackle and weather. If it was more than three minutes from the boat settling into the anchor to the first Hook-up I couldn’t tell!! Absolutley from the moment we started until the last second we were on fish!!! We Hooked up so many times, we all Cap, Mate and myself lost count and had to run back through it to get the total. 11 Sharks 2. Different species anywhere from 35-180lbs. GOD definitely blessed me with a GREAT DAY ON THE HEAVY HITTER!! Thanks again to Capt. George (A conversationalist unmatched), and Morrow (A young man with an old souls work ethic). Could not in any way have received a better time!!!!!

    Perfect day on the bay!

    4 Hr half day bottom fishing on July 14, 2026 • 6 adults • 3 children

    We had a great day out with Captain George and Mates Tommy and Morrow! They made sure to find us some action with the big sand tiger sharks in the Delaware Bay. There was plenty of activity for our young crew of 3 boys (11, 9, 7) and Tommy, George and Morrow were extremely helpful with assisting the boys with landing these big fish. Captain George was never short of a good story either. We will absolutely be booking the Heavy Hitter again in the future!

    Great shark fishing!

    4 Hr half day bottom fishing on July 3, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

    Captain George and his crew were fantastic! We went out looking for shark and he delivered big time. We pulled in five sand tigers in just a few hours. The boat was comfortable and crew helpful and courteous. They were great with my two boys as well. Helped them pull in the shark and made them feel at home. 10 out of 10!

    Great trip! Captain George put us on fish right away. Caught about 10 fish each and were able to keep 9 fish. Two nice flounder and sea bass. Bill was a great first mate and we hope to fish with them again!

    Great trip, above and beyond.

    3/4 day trip on July 27, 2024 • 6 adults

    Above and beyond to get you on the fish. Our day started out pretty slow with a fish every 45MIN or so. They kept switching out baits tirelessly until they found what was working and we left with over 50 fish. Most charters don’t put in their much effort or stock as much gear to constantly keep switching out to find what they’re hitting, these guys do! We will definitely be back, and recommend this trip to anyone who wants to fish from a nice boat and bring home some fish!

    Awesome captain and first mate!!

    Half Day Trip (PM) – Trolling on July 30, 2024 • 6 adults • 2 children

    Captain George and his first mate were so great! They traveled out farther to find fish. Caught a boatload of Bonita! They were very knowledgeable, helpful and super kind to my 97 year old father, helping him on/off the boat and providing a comfortable chair for him while fishing. They made deep sea fishing accessible to my 97 year old Dad and we all had the best time!
