30 Line Sportfishing
+4030 Line Sportfishing aims to show you a memorable time on the water. Captain Frank offers a wide variety of charter options that range from striped bass in the bay to offshore tuna.
In the spring, we target Striped Bass in the Raritan Bay. These trips are action-packed and you’re just about guaranteed to bring home dinner! During the late spring and summer months, we target Seabass, Fluke, Tuna, Mahi, sharks, Blackfish, and whatever else you would like to fish for out of Belmar, NJ.
Your fishing adventure starts on our 33’ Hydra-Sport Sportfisher. This boat is outfitted with twin 2023 Suzuki 300 hp motors, a full cabin with a stand up head, and galley. This boat was purpose built for offshore fishing. This boat is capable of overnight canyon trips for tuna and swordfish.
30 Line Sportfishing uses all top-notch gear and tackle to provide you with the ultimate angling experience. Your trip will include all the necessary fishing licenses for the day. We are a professional and friendly crew, and have the ability to coach the newest of anglers. Your catch of the day will be filleted and bagged for your convenience. Gratuity for the mate is always greatly appreciated.
Time limits for all trips are approximate. We love having fun out on the water just as much as you do. If the fish are biting and the crew is having a good time, were not too strict with coming back exactly when the trip is “over”. Well gladly stay out if the time runs over if the crew is having fun and we don’t have to be back right away for another trip.
30 Line Sportfishing hopes to see you out on the water!

Raritan Bay Striped Bass AM on May 4, 2025
Captain Frank and Mike were an absolute pleasure to fish with for the day, they were very kind and accommodating to me and my entire crew making sure we were comfortable from the time we met them at the dock in the morning until the time we got dropped off. They put us on the fish all day and we had plenty to take home. I would recommend this trip to both experienced anglers and novice Frank and Mike are very knowledgeable and willing to help at all times and I very much look forward to booking with them many times again in the future!

3 Hour Backbay PM on August 11, 2024
Captain Frank and Mike were great! We all had a fantastic time. While we didn't catch a lot of keepers, we had a great time all being together and making memories. If you are looking for a laid back experience with a great crew who will do everything from teach newbies to talk shop with experienced anglers, this is the team for you! We will definitely be booking with them again!

Fun Day out in NJ on Bay
3 Hour Backbay AM on August 22, 2024
Took time to get on the fish (not for a lack of trying new spots), but once we found them we caught a bunch. Friendly easy conversation from the Captain the whole time. Great with my 12y/o son the whole time. Would definitely recommend and/or book again for another trip.

Raritan Bay Striped Bass PM on May 24, 2023
It is a great trip, we catch bunkers first and use them as live bait for blues and stripers, I got my first blue with a great fight, captain is patient friendly, hard working. Only bad thing is today is not a great day for get bunkers. Wind is blowing and wave is a little high. One of suggestion is that captain should get live bait ready, so that we can start big game fast. Overall the trip is very good!

8 Hour Shark/Midshore on June 10, 2023
This is my second trip fishing with Frank, he is great and hard working, he bring a big box of small fishes for shark fishing. But unfortunately, we only got one bait, and the line broke. But we keep trying until 12pm. Then switch to bsb, Frank tried to put us and the shark but it is hard to find, for bsb we got plenty of keeper. Totally a good trip, hope can get a shark next time.
