    Awesome day on the water!

    5 hour trip (PM) on July 26, 2026 • 3 adults

    The Caotain was very knowledgeable and handled his boat lke a professional. He put in maximum effort in getting us into the target species we were after and even landed a dogfish which i had never seen until then. We had a great day out on the water and would recommend this captain for beginners and experienced anglers! Justin

Operating a 20' Wellcraft Cuddy cabin, Capt. Eliott ensures a comfortable fishing experience in the waters of Bayonne, New Jersey. Keep your eyes peeled for Scup (Porgy), Bluefish and Tautog as you try your hand at bottom fishing, trolling, and more. The only way to learn is to join them on the water.
