Nightwatch Sport Fishing
For your next trip to New Jersey, you’ll want to spend a day fishing with Captain Alan of Nightwatch Sport Fishing. He’s a local to the area and has spent a lifetime fishing the waters out of Barnegat Light. As well as being there every step of the way for you on your trip, Capt. Alan will point out local wildlife and tell you about them – ecology and the moral way of fishing are both very important to him.
You’ll spend the day on his 25’ Sea Hunt Gamefish boat that has plenty of space for up to 4 anglers to fish from. The boat is decked out with safety and navigational gear, including a fishfinder and GPS. It also features a T-top to provide you protection from the sun. Pair this with Capt. Alan’s 5 decades of fishing experience, and you’ll be on the fish in no time!
You’ll mostly be using light tackle to target Striped Bass, Bluefish, Fluke, Seabass, Weakfish, and more. You’ll be trolling, spinning, jigging, or popping on a trip with Capt. Alan. Feel free to bring along your own fly fishing gear if you’d like.
Children over 10 are welcome on board and will have life vests provided for them. Children will have a great story to tell their friends back at school after a fishing trip with Capt. Alan. The boat is non-smoking.
Included in the price of the trip are all the conventional, spinning, trolling, and baitcasting rods and reels. The captain will provide all bait, live or artificial, depending on which species you’ll be targeting. This is prepared before the trip for you. Your catch that can be kept legally will be cleaned at the end of the trip.
You’ll need to bring along a small cooler of food and drinks. Don’t forget your sun protection and polarized sunglasses, and you’ll be ready for a top day out.

Anthony Colletti5.0VerifiedGreat Trip! Bad Sea
Half Day Trip on August 29, 2026 • 2 adultsIt was a great day on the boat with Captian Alan. Alan is a great person to go out on the water with. He knew exactly where to go for the fish. We caught a couple of Fluke but no keepers. Rough winds made for a tough day on the boat but wouldnt change it!
David ChavisRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat experienced Captain
Half Day Trip on August 4, 2026 • 1 adultAlan knows his stuff. He was prepared and helpful, fish and weather were less cooperative. Good time. I would go out again with Alan.
Brian CinoskiRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat day in the water!
Half Day Trip on July 14, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 childCaught some nice bluefish and fluke. The boys had a lot of fun learning from Capt Alan. Thanks for a great day!
Dan CrandellRepeat angler5.0VerifiedAnother Great Adventure with Captain Al
Half Day Trip on July 22, 2025 • 1 adultCaptain was ready to go as soon as I arrived as usual. It was a beautiful sunny morning with a light wind. I landed my 1st Blue about 1/2 way out Barnegate Inlet. Then over the next 2 hours I reeled in so many Robin's and "just under keeper size" Fluke that my arms hurt. What a Blast. A small Sea Bass i almost forgot to mention. Then we were so busy with my 1st keeper, 22" fluke, that we didn't notice the waterspout forming between us and shore. I grabbed some great photos as Captain Al expertly maneuvered us north, then I land to get us behind the waterspout. We made it thru the wind and rain that followed, headed back into the bay for a few more Fluke, then back In to close out another great adventure with Captain Al.
Matt RozziRepeat angler5.0VerifiedKeepers in the Cooler!
Half Day Trip on August 2, 2024 • 3 adultsWhat an amazing trip with Captain Alan!! Not only did he put us on a ton of fluke, including 3 keepers (plus one monster that got away), but he was so much fun and made me and my sons feel very welcome on his boat. Great day and looking forward to fishing with him again!!
Gerard Pettit4.3VerifiedEnjoyed the trip
Half Day Trip on June 7, 2025 • 3 adults • 1 childWife, 13yo son and I enjoyed our trip. Started early, caught some striped bass, fluke and blues. Enjoyed talking with Alan and learning about the bay, ocean, Barnaget and LBI history. Learned more about fishing, especially my son. The particular day was extremely foggy so limited us to bay areas.

Kevin Schulz5.0VerifiedHalf Day Trip with Captain Alan
Half Day Trip on July 12, 2023 • 4 adults • 2 childrenWe really enjoyed fishing with Captain Alan. The whole family caught lots of fish. We fished for stripers and blue fish early and then chased fluke the second part of the trip. Captain Alan was very knowledgeable about the area and worked hard to get us to the best places to fish.
Nicole Sullivan5.0VerifiedHalf Day Trip with Captain Alan!
Half Day Trip on August 20, 2021 • 4 adultsWhat a great day fishing! We went out first thing for a beautiful sunrise! The weather was not cooperating so Alan took us in and then took us back out for the afternoon. It was so much fun and Alan was a great Captain! He was so patient no matter how many times we tangled our lines! We caught a great Skate and Fluke! A few fluke were too small so that was too bad! We would highly recommend Captain Alan and Nightwatch. We plan to come back in the fall to catch some strippers! Thank you so much!
