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.

8 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore
I booked an 8 hour solo trip and had a great day of fishing. Captain Frank knew right where to go to put some fish in the boat quickly. I think in total we landed about 13 and would have been more but fishing with just Frank and I we couldn't reel all 4 fish in at once when we would get hooked up. Id highly recommend anyone that is looking for a guide down here to give him a call. Very nice boat and equipment for anything you come across.

3hr EVENING Bay Cruise
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.

8 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore
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.

8 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore
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.

I took my two young teenage boys on their first ever Charter boat. I have to say Captain Frank was an amazing teacher and had patience of a saint. He was very attentive and took us to multiple locations where we caught multiple fish, not all Keepers but my boys got the experience of catching fish on a boat. Captain Frank also extended our time and did not charge us he wanted to make sure that my two sons got the full experience and caught as many fish as possible.
