 311 Channel Drive, Point Pleasant Beach, NJ 08742, United States

Tale Chaser Sportfishing is located in Point Pleasant Beach, NJ, and promises to show you a memorable time in the productive waters of the Atlantic Ocean.

Your fishing adventure starts on a 38’ Henriques flybridge that can safely take up to 6 anglers. This boat comes with a flybridge, toilet, shower, kitchen, bed, air-conditioning, an ice-bo, and more for your convenience.

Captain Steven will do his best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing. This involves anything from 4 hour to 2 day adventures, where you’ll fish a range of Bass, Flounder, Dolphin, Tuna, Bonito, Black Seabass, Shark, and more, depending on the season and conditions on the day.

On each of these trips, you can expect to use techniques such as bottom fishing, big game fishing, trolling, jigging, spinning, and drift fishing, as you hone in on your angling skills to land that dream catch.

All rods, reels, and terminal tackle are included in the price so you can focus on what really matters – fishing. Before joining a trip, make sure to buy the necessary fishing licenses for all on board. The crew will clean and fillet your catch for you to take home at the end of the trip, so there’s nothing left to do but book your trip now and hit the water with Tale Chaser Sportfishing.

Capt and crew are excellent. Sea was difficult. Wind came on strong and we still caught some fish. Boat looks and ran great. Very professional outfit and I highly recommend them. We will be back.

Beautiful Charter Boat inside and out. We easily fished with 6 people and caught lots of fluke and a sea bass. Captain Steve was exceptional! He was professional and friendly. Great Charter for families who want to have a great time cruising and catching fish and great boat for longer trips with avid fishermen looking to go offshore.

Captain Steven has been fishing ever since he was old enough to walk. From freshwater to offshore, if it swims, the captain will chase it, so he invites you and your nearest and dearest to come aboard and try whatever method you like to put meat on the deck.
