Book your next trip with Fishin Minions and find out what you're missing in Ocean Township. With Captain William at the helm, you're in knowledgeable and experienced hands.

Fishing around here will often see you targeting Flounder, Striped Bass, Black Seabass, Weakfish, Bluefish, Tautog, and more if you cast your line at the right time of year.

You can expect to do some spinning, popping, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Trips with Fishin Minions are fun for all ages, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Don't forget to bring snacks to maintain your energy throughout the trip!

Your day begins aboard a 21' Sportsman center console with space for 3 to 4 passengers very comfortably, depending on the season and type of fish targeting. Our boat is equipped with all the essentials and updated fishing equipment. Enjoy a smoother ride with our newly updated Trim tabs to the Sea Keeper Ride System, & new flooring system.

Capt. William has rods and reels for you, if needed. Bait is included, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

20% tip is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work.

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.

A few items to bring include bottled water, sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray). If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

5 Hour Private Summer Flounder on June 30, 20262 adults

Caught 8 species but highlight was brown shark, mako shark, dogfish head shark. Flounders were not of legal size but fun to see. We also caught all the skates you could ask for. Great time and would easily book again.
