We use the latest fishing techniques and technology using our 112-HP thrust trolling motor to fight the winds going for flounder or anchor up for Tog. We know the tricks and the spots to get those fish on your line and send you home with dinner and some great memories.

About Captain Bill
I've been obsessed with fishing ever since I was about 7 years old.Whether it was freshwater fishing in creeks and lakes for bass and trout or fishing the back bays of NJ with my Dad and uncle for flounder 35 years ago I couldn't get enough of fishing.

After years and years of fishing on my uncles boat, party boats, renting boats, and fishing from beach II finally ended up purchasing my own boat. Some things fell into place and I was fortunate enough to turn my passion for fishing into a career.

    Captain Bill Goes Above and Beyond

    1 SEAT Flounder Open Boat AM on May 18, 2026 • 1 adult

    Today I went on a fishing charter with Captain Bill and had an amazing experience. Bill was incredibly friendly, engaging, and always ready to help. He made sure everyone stayed fishing by keeping extra rods rigged and ready in case of snags or other mishaps. He also had multiple setups available for us to try, and he had no problem swapping gear out if someone wanted to change things up. One thing I really appreciated was how knowledgeable he was about the area. He knows a lot of productive fishing spots and wouldn’t let us sit around where the fish weren’t biting. The smaller boat setup, with a maximum of only four people, also made the trip feel much more personal and gave everyone a better chance to catch fish. The open boat seat price was very affordable, especially considering how much time we spent fishing. Captain Bill even let us stay out longer than the allotted time, which I greatly appreciated. Even though the season has been starting off relatively slow, we still caught skates, a sand shark, and a lot of flounder. I was able to catch my limit and bring home some great fish for an awesome meal. I can’t thank Captain Bill enough for the experience. He’s knowledgeable, patient, helpful, and willing to answer any questions you have. If you’re looking for a fun and personable fishing charter, I highly recommend booking with Bill. You’ll have a great fishing experience!!!

    Flounder Whole Boat PM Charter on September 19, 2026 • 4 adults

    If you’re going to be on a boat with someone for hours, it might as well have a friend and family vibe. Bill was both professional and laid back, like an experienced angler but someone you’ve known for years. Got along great with my two boys and most importantly we all hooked every few minutes, even in a low season. Will be back and highly recommend 🫡

    So Damn Awesome

    Flounder Whole Boat AM Charter on June 28, 2026 • 4 adults

    We had a great time today. The entire experience from booking to watching our 1 fish (absolutely hilarious 😂😂) get filleted was amazing! Captain Bill is the best - 3 of the 4 of us are fishing newbies & he was there step by step! While the fish took a day off today - Captain Bill made this excursion so much fun. It was relaxing and exhilarating both at the same time. He did some much more than expected and tried his hardest to bring us to the fish!!! We will definitely be back - hopefully so will the fish! 😂🎣😂

I've been obsessed with fishing ever since I was about 7 years old.Whether it was freshwater fishing in creeks and lakes for bass and trout or fishing the back bays of NJ with my Dad and uncle for flounder 35 years ago I couldn't get enough of fishing. After years and years of fishing on my uncles boat, party boats, renting boats, and fishing from the rocks, beach, and bridges I finally ended up purchasing my own boat. Some things fell into place and I was fortunate enough to turn my passion for fishing into a full time adventure. Fishing is a great hobby that has changed my life for the better and I'm very grateful to get to experience the fun and enjoyment of people catching fish every day.
