If fishing in Cape May is on your bucket list, look no further than JP Charters. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Jonathan knows them forwards and back.

Mahi Mahi, Bluefish, Striped Bass, Black Drum, Flounder, Black Seabass, Sheepshead, Tautog, and more are in the cards, depending on when you go. On these trips, it's common to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. And, you can't go wrong with snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty stomach!

You'll be casting lines from a 32' SeaVee center console with space for 6 passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water.
You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures. Live bait is on offer, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

There's no need to buy a fishing license, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Have in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.

Don't leave home without sunblock (non-spray), bottled water, and sunglasses. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

First Drum Fishing Trip
4 Hour Trip (AM) on May 31, 20262 adults1 child

We booked a trip with Capt. Jonathan for sea bass for my 11 year olds first ocean fishing trip. The water was rough to go out for them so he suggested to go out for black drum. My nephew caught his first fish and it was a sizeable one. Jonathans a great guide that makes the trip enjoyable and Id highly recommend going with him. We are already planning our next trip to go out again!

Reported catch:
Black Drum

Great day with Capt. John!
4 Hour Trip (AM) on August 4, 20256 adults

Captain John runs a top notch charter. If you are looking for a chill and low key experience this is your guy. Even though the fishing was slow for all the charters today, John kept positive and put us on some fish. Fishing is fishing and sometimes the fish go to hide. Even so, John was gracious and personable throughout. He worked with his other charter operators and we found some fish to bring home. His boat is clean and plenty of room for six. If you are looking for a Cape May charter, this is the one you should book!

Captain Jon knows what he’s doing
4 Hour Trip (AM) on July 6, 20256 adults

Had a great trip with JP Charters. His boat is immaculate, and his equipment works perfectly. Captain Jon is a great person to fish with, he knows the ocean and where to find fish! We caught lots of blues, tagged out on sea bass and even got to finish the trip off reeling in a nice big sand shark. Highly recommend JP Charters to anyone looking to go deep sea fishing! Hoping to come fish again soon!

Reported catch:
Bluefish (Tailor)
Black Seabass
