Hard working crew!
Raritan Bay Striper (PM) on April 18, 20242 adults

Captain John and 1st mate Mitch worked their butt's off to find fish and get us on them. There were plenty of times where they could have just said the fish aren't biting and that's the way it goes, but they kept looking and trying different tactics till we finally reeled in 5 nice stripers. Two of them keepers and the other three over the slot limit. Look forward to using them again!

Response from Captain

Best Six-Pack Charter in New Jersey
Fluke on July 15, 2022

Captain Joe is a young, aggressive captain that works his butt off to put you on the fish. He grew up mating on the party boats. Now he owns and runs the cleanest charter boat in New Jersey. I have caught everything with him: stripers, sea bass and fluke to name a few. You want a great day on the water fishing with a great captain and crew, then book a trip on the Nearfall. You will have a great time. That is why I fish at least six times a year with Captain Joe on the Nearfall.

Thanks Dan! Cant wait for the next one!

Great Day On The Water
10 Hour Trip – Extended Combo on September 24, 20226 adults

Had an awesome day fishing with Captain John and Ryan. They knew to keep us inshore due to rougher conditions offshore. Caught our fill of porgy for good eating, and still had time to go for blackfish and we almost got some keepers. Both guys super helpful and friendly. Everyone had a blast. Only one small issue was not enough seating for 6, but it wasn't a big deal.

Response from Captain

Thank you for the review! You guys were great and we look forward to the next one.

My father introduced me to the sport at a young age and I was always driven to be on the ocean bending a fishing rod. By the age of 15, I had secured a job as a deckhand on the Dauntless where I then proceeded to get my 100-ton Master Captains license. I have been running trips ever since I got my license in 2015.
