Little Jessie James charter boat offers the ultimate in the back bay and nearshore fishing. They specialize in ultra-light tackle fishing in the most pristine waters in New Jersey.

There's a fish with your name on it in Brigantine and The Jessie James fleet will help you catch it! With Captain Mark at the helm, you'll have a knowledgeable and experienced guide.

Striped Bass, Bluefish, Flounder, Black Drum, Blacktip Shark, Weakfish, Tautog, and more can be found in these waters if conditions are right.
On these trips, you can expect to cast, jig, live bait fish or troll using light tackle. Capt. Mark also offers fly fishing, but you may need to bring your own fly gear.

Families who love fishing together will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Also, remember to bring snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty stomach!

You'll be casting lines from a 22' Sisu Downeast with room for 3 passengers. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures, live and dead bait.

Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. It's customary to tip the Mate 20% to show your appreciation. 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 some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.

You can't go wrong when you bring bottled water, sunblock (non-spray), and sunglasses. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

And that's it! Your fishing trip with Little Jessie James is just a click away.
