Spend the day with Blowin'Chunks Sportfishing and let them show you what makes the fishing in Keyport so memorable! Captain Dragan will be your guide, allowing you to benefit from years of professional experience.

The fish in these waters include Striped Bass, Black Seabass, Flounder, Weakfish, Bluefish, Thresher Shark, Bluefin Tuna, and more if you cast your line at the right time of year. During the trip you might be spinning, popping, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Dragan also offers fly fishing.

Blowin'Chunks Sportfishing is a kid-friendly charter service, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Also remember to bring snacks to keep their stamina going!

You'll be welcome aboard a 28' Carolina Classic sportfishing vessel that can carry up to 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers, and everything you need for a productive day on the water. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Rods, reels, and tackle are included, along with lures. Live bait is included, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.

You'll have the help of a First Mate to put you on fish. It's customary to tip the Mate 10–20% to show your appreciation.

There's no need to buy a fishing license, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.

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

And that's it! Your fishing trip with Blowin'Chunks Sportfishing is just a click away.
