There’s a fish with your name on it in Brigantine and Retriever Fishing Charters will help you catch it!

Local species include Tautog, Striped Bass, Flounder, Black Seabass, Weakfish, Bluefish, Sheepshead, Cod, Mahi Mahi, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Little Tunny, and more, depending on the time of year. On these trips, it’s common to troll and bottom fish using light tackle. Capt. Connor also offers fly fishing trips too!

Retriever Fishing Charters welcomes kids aboard, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! 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 belly!

Capt. Connor welcomes you aboard a 20’ Maritime bay boat that can carry up to 4 passengers. It has all the essentials. Capt. Connor will provide rods and reels for you, along with 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 you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish. Don’t forget to bring sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray). There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor and glass bottles.

If you have any questions about fishing with Retriever Fishing Charters, you can send Capt. Connor a message down below.

A Must Do Fishing

4 Hour Trip – Bay (PM) on August 30, 2025 • 2 adults • 1 child

Our family of three had an absolute amazing time on CAPT Connor's fishing trip. As novice fishermen, we were in exceptional hands with the CAPT; his expertise, teaching and overall persona were priceless. We would highly recommend the four hour trip, because we had ample time to fish, have lunch, and just enjoy the ambiance of the bay. Our first time, but certainly will not be our last time with CAPT Connor.

Caught fish consistently and even an unexpected catch!

4 Hour Trip – Bay (PM) on August 14, 2025 • 4 adults

3 of us total went out to the ocean to try our luck at some flounder and we sure got into them! Captain Connor put us on fish the entire day and we had a blast. He was great to talk to and very helpful with fishing and landing all fish. I even hooked into a shark! He supported me through the entire fight and did great with releasing the shark unharmed. 10/10 will absolutely recommend!

Great Captain / Caught fish!

4 hour Inshore Shark Fishing on August 26, 2025 • 2 adults • 2 children

Connor was a great captain. My family went shark fishing, we didn’t catch anything but Connor then took us to another location to catch some fish. My 6 year old son is obsessed with fish and we were able to catch a bunch of flounder and some great catches catching a STINGRAY and SANDSHARK! We all had a great time and Connor was great.

We had a beautiful day fishing today. The water was calm. The skies were clear. And the fish were plentiful. We got plenty of flounder and multiple other species. Even hooked into four sharks. That’s a fun reel!! Overall a great day and would highly recommend.
