Invite the family for a fun day of fishing off the coast of New Jersey with Fin and Feathers Outfitters! Your captain will take you through the Intracoastal Waterway, Delaware Bay, and further out into the Ocean to give you an authentic Northeast fishing experience.

Your trip will take place on a 23' Parker center console, equipped with top-of-the-line navigational equipment and safety gear. She also comes with removable outriggers and downriggers, a live bait tank, and state-of-the-art fishing tackle. Each trip accommodates up to 6 guests and children are welcome to join, however, you'll typically stay more inshore on kids' fishing trips.

You'll be able to explore the Delaware Bay and target Flounder, Bluefish, Striped Bass, Black Drum, and many more. You can bottom fish, troll, drift, or challenge yourself to some fly fishing as well. Fly fishing trips are typically reserved for 2 people at a time and you'll be provided with all the necessary equipment. You can also fish the Intracoastal Waterway and target other inshore species, such as Spotted Seatrout or go on an exciting crabbing adventure!

Nearshore waters produce many species that are fun to target, such as Bonito, False Albacore, Tautog, Sharks, and more. In the summer and fall months, you can head more offshore to troll or wreck and reef fish for a wider range of species, such as Mahi Mahi, Tuna, and Wahoo.

Whether you're an avid angler or just want to enjoy the scenery and sit back and relax with the family, Fin and Feathers Outfitters have got you covered! Your fishing license is also included, so all you need to bring is food and drinks and get ready for an exciting journey!

Half Day Fishing Trip with Jim
Half Day Trip inner coastal (PM) on August 16, 20235 adults1 child

It was an awesome and relaxing rare day with all 6 of us together. My wife and 4 boys (18, 16, 13, 8) were treated to a great day out in the ocean, fishing, talking, and just being together. Jim was the catalyst to this. Personable from the moment we arrived to the time we got back to the marina. He was a true professional when it came to operating the boat to equipping us to fish. Throughout the trip, handling everything from baiting to detangling lines, Jim was calm and conversational making the whole family relaxed and just having fun. All around a great afternoon. Recommend Jim/Fins and Feathers to family, guys trip or sport fisherman a like. Couldn’t say 1 bad thing.
