Way Overboard Sportfishing

Based out of Point Pleasant, Way Overboard Sportfishing is your ticket to a memorable time on the water.

Come on aboard with Capt. Christopher, whose main priority is to get you on some fish. Expect to use techniques like bottom fishing, trolling, jigging, popping, and spinning, based on the species you’re targeting. Speaking of which, you have the option of 4 to 18-hour trips, where you’ll be fishing for the likes of Flounder, Bass, Bluefish, Seabass, Tuna, and Shark, depending on the specific season and the day’s weather.

Your fishing adventure starts on a 33’ Regulator boat that can safely take up to 6 anglers. This boat features a toilet and an ice box.

The price of your trip includes all the rods, reels, and terminal tackle you’ll need for a productive day on the water. Please make sure to buy a valid fishing license ahead of time.

You’re welcome to keep all legal species caught during the trip.

Here to help you with anything you need, the first mate will be on hand during the trip. Leaving a tip for a job well done is much appreciated.

Up for a family trip? This is a children-friendly business, so bring your loved ones to share these memories with. Please note that the Shark trips are adult-oriented and it is not recommended for kids to attend them. Contact the captain for more details.
