Captain Brian offers professional, full-time fishing charters in Ocean City, NJ, fishing the backbays, flats, and oceanfront of the surrounding South Jersey area. Whether you're a first-time angler or a seasoned pro, our trips are fun for all ages and skill levels — and all bait and tackle is provided.
We are the only full-time charter in the Ocean City, NJ area offering day trips, night fishing, fly fishing, and technical artificial lure fishing on the flats — specializing in striped bass along with flounder, bluefish, weakfish, and other inshore species.

About Captain Brian
Born and raised in the backwaters of Southern New Jersey, Captain Brian brings decades of real-world experience to every trip. He has been featured in regional and national fishing magazines, appeared on the Discovery Channel, NBC Sports, ESPN, and the World Fishing Network, contributed to multiple podcasts, and served as a guest speaker at the Saltwater Sportsman National Seminar Series **hidden content** & 2026).
Captain Brian's goal goes beyond just catching fish. He teaches guests the techniques, the "how and why" behind them, and the ecology of the South Jersey marshlands and backbay waterways. You'll leave with fish in the cooler, new skills in your pocket, and a deeper respect for the coastal environment.

What to Bring

Polarized sunglasses
-Hat and buff (sun & bug protection)
-Reef-safe, lotion sunscreen (no spray sunscreen — it damages the boat and tackle)

-Non-marking soled shoes (sneakers or flip-flops are fine — no black soles)
-Reusable water bottle (we encourage eco-friendly practices)

Please Leave at Home

-Non Reef Safe Sunscreens
-Spray sunscreen
-Black-soled shoes

Great trip

Brian was an excellent guide. We had rookie fishermen on our trip and he put us on fish and helped them use the proper technique to catch them. We had a blast.
