Prime Time II Sport Fishing is at your service! Meet your guide, Capt. Steve Beer, who operates out of Wildwood Crest, NJ. You can find him on the water any day between May and late September. Capt. Steve runs fishing trips that are suitable for angler of any skill level. You don't have to be a lifelong enthusiast to have a great day on the water.

Join your captain on his 35' Maine Coaster that accommodates up to 6 guests. The boat is powered by a mighty 450 HP Cummins engine, to ensure you a safe and comfortable ride. There's an enclosed cabin with lots of seating space, a private toilet, and plenty of deck room for battling huge fish.

Your catch depends on the time of year. The season usually opens with specialized Drum trips and progresses to trolling for Mahi Mahi, Tuna, and Spanish Mackerel. But it doesn't end there! You can also try spinning, bottom, and deep sea fishing for Flounder, Striped Bass, Bluefish, and Shark.

Capt. Steeve will provide you with Shimano and Penn fishing equipment and bait. If you want to keep the catch for a meal, the first mate will clean and fillet it for you free of charge (but tips are always appreciated). Feel free to bring snacks, drinks, and sunscreen.

If there's anything you would like to discuss in advance, just contact the captain. He'll do his best to make this fishing trip the one you'll never forget. Spend a day with Prime Time II Sport Fishing and discover your new hobby!

Amazing experience!
Catch and release shark trips on August 15, 20265 adults1 child

Great experience for my entire family. Captain Steve and First Mate Jerry were fantastic and super knowledgeable. We caught our first shark within 5 minutes after anchoring. All of us got to battle it out with over 6 large sharks each bigger than the last. My girls weren't sure if they wanted to come but after reeling a 125+ lb shark in they wanted to know when we were going again. My boys said it was way better than they expected and they had high expectations...I mean c'mon it's fishing for sharks! My dad and I have great stories and pics, kids loved it, nice day out on the water in a private boat, great guides and fantastic memories. Thanks again Steve and Jerry. If your on the fence, go for it and be ready to be humbled fighting a shark...no matter how in shape you think you are.

Great Trip. Highly Recommended
Catch and release shark trips on August 4, 20265 adults1 child

Captain Steve and First Mate Jerry were great. Easy going and bery informational. They obviously have tons of experinece. My father, brother, brother-in law and myself booked the 4 hour Shark fishing charter. Beautiful day and rougher then expected, weather man strike again, but we caught 6 sharks. 4 Sand Tigers and 2 Duskys. The one Dusky was around 6-7 feet and put up a hell of a fight. The Sand Tigers ranged from 6 to 5 feet. Overall fantastic time. Highly recommended if you love the water and enjoy a fight. Thank you Captian Steve and Jerry.

Had a great time with Jerry and Steve today. Sharks started biting shortly after we got to our spot and we were able to get quite a few sharks reeled in during our trip. Would definitely recommend!

Captain Steve has been fishing for over 40 years in the area. For years, he was teaching people to fish and was taking them out on his boat. At one point, he decided to do this full time and make it into a profession. The best part of it is that you constantly meet new, fun people and catch fish at the same time.
