Bug Sportfishing – Raritan
Book your next trip with Bug Sportfishing and find out what makes fishing out of Old Bridge Township so unique.
Depending on the season, you might hook into Striped Bass, Black Seabass, Flounder, Bluefin Tuna, Yellowfin Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Mako Shark, Thresher Shark, White Marlin, Wahoo, and whatever else takes the bait.
On these trips, it’s common to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle, as well as sight fishing/casting. Capt. James also offers kite fishing.
Any fish within the legal limit are yours to take home. Capt. James can even clean your catch for you. How’s that for fresh seafood?
Families who love fishing together will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! If you don’t have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there’s one on board. Snacks are never a bad idea so that nobody gets cranky on an empty stomach!
Capt. James will bring you aboard a 32’ Contender offshore sport fishing boat with a capacity for 6 passengers. It has outriggers, downriggers, and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. Capt. James will supply rods and reels for you, as well as lures. Live bait is available, 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 (**optional!**) to put you on fish and make the most of your trip. Mates often work for tips and it’s customary to offer them a 10%–20% gratuity.
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. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.
It’s recommended to bring sunblock (non-spray), Sports drink, and sunglasses. Bottled water is included, free of charge.
Now’s the time to experience fishing in Old Bridge Township for yourself, with Bug Sportfishing!
