Booked with us before? You may qualify for a Loyalty Discount. Sign in to check.

Fishing out of Barnegat Light's waters, depending on when you go the following species are available: Striped Bass, Fluke, Tautog, Sea Bass, Mahi Mahi, Bluefin and Yellowfin Tuna. False Albacore and Bonita, Little Tunny Spanish and King mackerel. The way we catch the fish varies from spinning, trolling, drifting, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Frank can also show you kite fishing.

We clean and bag your fish so bring a cooler.

There are no licenses required as the charter boat has all State and Federal Permits to catch and legally retain the fish caught.

Capt. Frank believes in teaching kids to fish while they're young, so go ahead and bring the whole family along! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Customers are encouraged to bring snacks to keep up those energy levels!

You'll find yourself aboard a 30' Sea Hunt Gamefish 30 center console with a capacity for 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers and all the essentials and all the electronics no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Capt. Frank will provide rods and reels for you, along with lures. Live bait for some species too!

It's always wise to bring sunglasses, a hat, sunscreen (non-spray), and bottled water. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

We will try and accommodate persons with disabilities but you need to inform us in advance of their conditions so we can truly evaluate what level of service we can provide.

Get in touch with Capt. Frank below and start planning your trip today!

Family Fishing Trip
3hr EVENING Bay Cruise on August 19, 20253 adults2 children
We chartered a trip yesterday with Captain Frank. Booking was super easy. We arrived at the dock and met Captain Frank who was already set up and ready to roll. He welcomed us aboard and off we went. It was an inshore trip that would be our families first. My wife and 2 of our three boys have never caught fish before and Captain Frank made sure we were on top of the fish. Everyone left with at least one catch under their belt. The entire time Captain Frank was keen to keep the boat positioned and had limitless patience when it came to untangling lines and keeping all the hooks baited. His hard work meant that we were able to spend the maximum amount of time fishing. Captain Frank is very personable and we are looking forward to booking again. Highly recommended.

Reel Good Time
8 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore on July 19, 20256 adults
We can’t stress enough how amazing this trip was from initial communication, transparency, and the fishing trip itself. We had few rescheduling due to the bad weather and Capt Frank made sure that we are advised. The week before the trip Capt Frank ensures that we have all the options we need, from meetup location to the breakfast nearby where we stayed at. On the trip itself, Capt does have coolers prepared for when you don’t have one even a sunblock spray. His equipped with different kind of rods for different kind of fishes. We were trolling for Tuna and we tried so hard to get one but no luck for us. We tried for mahi-mahi but no luck as well. But seems like we don’t have any issues for catching bluefish. Overall the trip was awesome, different experience. Hopefully next time we get some action for Tuna.

Great captain, great boat!
4 Hour Trip – Stripers/Fluke (AM) on November 15, 20252 adults
We took my son and his friend striper fishing for his 13th. Bob was great, put us on the fish but we couldn’t get any to bite. We threw everything in the aresenal at them, but some days the bite is just soft. There were a lot of other boats out, and no one was hooking up. Definitely condition related and not due to lack of effort or knowledge. I’d highly recommend. We’ll try again with Capt. Bob and Branarchy Sport Fishing!

Shark Fishing on the 4th of July
8 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore on July 4, 20256 adults
Had an amazing time shark fishing with Captain Frank. He clearly knew the waters well and got us right on the action over a shipwreck — hooked into multiple mako sharks and had a few intense fights. The setup was solid, everything was ready to go, and he gave clear guidance without ever overstepping. It felt like a real hands-on experience, not just a tourist ride. If you're looking for a real fishing trip with someone who knows what they're doing, this is it. Already looking forward to the next one.

Stripers!
4 Hour Trip – Stripers (PM) on November 22, 20252 adults
First time fishing for Stripers at LBI. My 17 year old son and I went out for the afternoon and landed 6 big ones between us. The fish were moving around a lot, but Captain Frank always knew where to find them - close enough they were practically jumping out of the water! Don’t let the weather scare you off - great fishing in November.
