Jersey Shore Fishing Charters strives 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 and Mahi. We offer family friendly trips for novice anglers and children, and trips for the most extreme avid anglers.

In the Spring, we target Striped Bass, Sea Bass and Blackfish (Tog) . These trips are action-packed and you're just about guaranteed to bring home dinner! During the late Spring and Summer months, we target Sea Bass, Fluke, Tuna, Mahi, Bluefish, Sharks, and whatever other species you would like to target!

Your fishing adventure starts on our 2026 Bulls Bay 255 Offshore. This boat is outfitted with twin 2026 Suzuki 150 hp motors. This boat was purpose built for offshore fishing.

Jersey Shore Fishing Charters 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, we're not too strict with coming back exactly when the trip is 'over'. We'll 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. But, we will never cut you short on time!

Jersey Shore Fishing Charters hopes to see you out on the water! If you fish with us, you will be treated like family!

    Excellent Trip!

    Raritan Bay Striped Bass AM on May 4, 2025 • 6 adults

    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!
