If you’re ready to have fun fishing in Brigantine, book a trip with Captain Bill’s Charter. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Bill knows them forwards and back.

Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Weakfish, Flounder, Bluefish, Striped Bass, and anything else that bites. During the trip, you might be spinning, drifting, jigging, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Any fish within the legal limit is yours to keep. Plus, you can have your catch cleaned. Now that’s dinner!

You’ll be casting lines from a 19’ Grady-White that can carry up to 4 passengers. It comes with all the essentials. Your captain will provide rods and reels, 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.

Before coming aboard, you may be required to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off-limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.

Looking to get the whole family outdoors? Kids are absolutely welcome! Captain Bill’s trips are great for families. Don’t leave home without snacks, drinks, sunblock (non-spray), and sunglasses. Alcohol is not allowed.

Fall Striped Bass on October 17, 2023

We did land a small Sand Shark. It was good to be on the water with nice weather. Captain Bill was professional and easy to talk to. He moved to different areas trying to get the bite. I would charter with him again.

Captain Bill was great, very knowledgeable about the area, very accommodating, and extremely pleasant to fish with. Bad day for fishing, but he tried everything to get us some keepers. Definitely fishing with him again the next time we visit Brigantine
