These productive waters are home to Striped Bass, Black Seabass, Bluefish, and more. With a little luck, you'll be reeling in fish in no time. All keeper fish within legal size and bag limits are yours to take home.

Smokin Reels is family-friendly and welcomes anglers of all ages. Kids are encouraged to join the fun, and properly fitting life vests are required—just check ahead to confirm sizes are available onboard. No fishing license is needed for your trip.
