Book your next trip with Reel M N Charter Fishing and find out what keeps anglers coming back to Colonial Beach for more.

You’re likely to go after Striped Bass, Bluefish, Bullhead, Catfish, White Perch, Narrow-barred Spanish Mackerel, and more, depending on the season. According to the species you’re after, you may find yourself light tackle fishing, trolling, and bottom fishing. Any fish within the legal limit is yours to keep, and catch cleaning is available. Now that’s dinner!

Your adventure begins aboard a 30’ Sea Ray with a capacity for 6 passengers. It has outriggers and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but it’s good to ask about this so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.

You’ll have the help of a First Mate to put you on fish. A 10–20% tip is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work. The charter boat covers your fishing license, just show up ready for some fishing! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.

Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! It’s recommended to bring snacks, drinks, sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), and bottled water. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

And that’s it! Your fishing trip with Reel M N Charter Fishing is just a click away.

The water has always been my happy place—I grew up surrounded by it. With over 30 years of fishing experience under my belt, I've developed a deep love for everything about it. Whether it's casting a line or helping others learn the art of fishing, I find pure joy in every moment spent by the sea. What's more, I'm a family-oriented person who absolutely adores having kids on the boat. So come join me for a friendly and memorable fishing adventure where we can bask in the ocean breeze and create lifelong memories of catching fish together!
