    Shark Fishing

    Half day trip - 1:00 PM on August 19, 2026

    We decided to go with Hook N Cook and captain Tim on the shark fishing charter. My oldest loves fishing and wanted to try shark fishing. I couldn't even keep count how many sharks we caught because it was nonstop action. We caught at least ten sand tiger sharks. Captain Tim was amazing and we would definitely recommend him! If we ever go back to Wildwood we would definitely book with him again. AMAZING!!

    Pretty great weather and company

    4 Hour Trip (AM) - Bottom Fishing on October 20, 2025 • 2 adults

    Weather was quite stormy on the drive in, which led to a pretty relaxing fishing experience once we headed out at 8 AM. Skies were clear and a refreshing wind was flowing. We were unable to go miles out due to the wind, and stayed around the rocks to fish Tautog / "Tog" / (Blackfish). Despite my inexperience, I managed to fish up about 4 tog (3 were undersize), and my friend and I ended up with 3 total (one given by the captain). There were more than a few snags on rocks, but the captain Tim and first mate John handled this with grace and just readied up another rod. John was also very willing to explain optimal fishing conditions, differences in wind, tide, and temperature for certain fish targets. Overall, a good experience, and I think the captain and first mate really looked out for each other. Also, Tog is pretty delicious!

    First time with Tim, not the last!

    4 Hour Trip (PM) - Bottom Fishing on August 26, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child

    I booked an afternoon trip with Tim for my 13 year old son's birthday and we had a great time! One of my buddies and my wife came along and fished with us having a great time as well. The crew was very engaging and more than helpful and patient with experienced anglers and less experienced which made for a fun day for all.

    Great experience for my son!

    4 Hour Trip (PM) - Black Drum on May 30, 2026 • 3 adults

    We had a great time with Captain Tim and John. We only caught one fish, but not for a lack of trying. They did everything they could to increase our chances, but it just wasn't our day. However, my son did catch a 55lb. black drum, which will be a lifelong memory.

    Shark Fever

    4 Hour Trip (AM) - Bottom Fishing on August 21, 2026 • 2 adults

    Planned trip was changed based on weather and we fished a shark nursery in the Bay. 12 strikes in 4 hours with 8 Sand Tigers, ranging up to an estimated 200lbs, were brought to the side of the boat and released. Absolute blast!

    Half day trip - 1:00 PM on September 1, 2026 • 4 adults

    We had a great time shark fishing. It was harder than we thought it would be, but the crew was very helpful along the way (especially with my 13 yr old daughter). Definitely a great experience!

    Last minute fishing trip w/son

    4 Hour Trip (PM) - Bottom Fishing on August 29, 2026 • 2 adults

    I was in Cape May for my son graduation USCG basic training. This was a last minute booking. We went out in the bay to fish for shark. Winds offshore were not favorable. They put us on the sharks pretty quick. Caught 3 good sized sharks. Overall it was fun on the water.

4 Hour Trip (AM) - Bottom Fishing on July 26, 2026 • 2 adults • 2 children

I booked this fishing trip as a Father’s Day gift for my dad during our family vacation, and the crew was absolutely wonderful! Everyone was friendly, helpful, and incredibly accommodating, especially when our day didn’t go quite as planned. We really appreciated how kind and attentive they were and still came away with a memorable family experience. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a great fishing trip in Wildwood!
