Great 4 hour family trolling fishing trip!
4 Hour Trip (PM) on August 13, 20264 adults

Captain Chris and First Mate Anthony were professional, patient, and friendly. The boat is comfortable, and clean. Our family enjoyed our 4 hour trip and caught tons of blue fish. We had a bunch cleaned and prepped at the bait and tackle and brought it home for dinner. We definitely do another trip with this crew. Great communication prior to the trip as well!

4 Hour Trip (Evening) on August 13, 20266 adults

We wanted to catch a bunch of fish, and hopefully something good to eat. After trolling and catching tons of bluefish, we asked if we could try for sea bass, triggerfish ad flounder. Captain Chris pivoted, and we caught a bunch of those!

Great Trip w/ Capt. Chris
4 Hour Trip (AM) on July 26, 20266 adults

5 of us went out and caught a bunch of Spanish Mackerel and Bluefish. The trip was great! Capt. Chris and his mate Anthony got us on fish within the first few minutes of putting lines in the water. Great day fishing and would recommend Action Jackson for a trip whether you’re going with family or a more experienced group.

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.

I have been fishing the waters off the Delaware coast my whole life. I grew up behind the wheel of my family's boat searching for flounder in the back bays. As I grew up I expanded my fishing horizons offshore to master the tuna, mahi, along with other fish we have in our waters. My passion is to see my groups catch the fish of their dreams, and I will work hard to achieve that dream.
