JP Charters
+16If 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.
