Fishing in New Jersey

New Jersey fishing charters unlock one of the Atlantic Coast's most dynamic angling playgrounds, where 130 miles of diverse coastline serves up everything from bustling inshore action to legendary offshore battles. The Garden State's extensive charter fleet—one of the largest in the Northeast—caters to all adventures, whether you're drifting serene back bays or chasing pelagic giants in the deep blue. Summer heats up with prime targets like hard-fighting Striped Bass and Bluefish nearshore, while bottom species such as Flounder and Seabass haunt the reefs. Venture farther, and Sharks, Tuna, and Marlin patrol the bluewater depths for thrilling big-game encounters.

Flexible trip styles ensure tailored experiences: family-friendly half-day excursions focus on accessible light-tackle fun, full-day voyages target productive wrecks and offshore structure, and extended expeditions pursue trophy species miles from shore. Departing from hubs like Atlantic City and Cape May, these charters handle all licensing and logistics, guaranteeing seamless access to prime grounds. With year-round opportunities and a staggering variety of species, New Jersey's waters deliver consistent action for every angler—from first-timers to seasoned veterans seeking their next trophy catch.

New Jersey Fishing Seasons

January

The summer season is still a long way away, and most game fish are out of town. You can catch a few Cod offshore, or head to Delaware Bay to target the Stripers wintering here.

February

The first few Flounder start to emerge in the Raritan Bay towards the end of the month. You can still find Stripers wintering in the Delaware Bay, too. The offshore action hasn't started yet.

March

Most charter boats get back in the water in March, as the first few Striped Bass show up along the coast. By the end of the month, you'll have decent catches of Bluefish, Flounder, and Crab, too.

April

Things really start to heat up inshore. Stripers are biting hard and Bluefish are fighting them for every bait. Flounder and Tautog are on fire in April, and big Mako Sharks are showing up offshore.

May

Seabass are open for harvest in May, just as Tautog season closes. You can also catch and keep Fluke, making for even better food fishing. There are some huge Stripers around by now.

June

Cape May holds two awesome tournaments in June. The South Jersey Shark Tournament and South Jersey Overnight Tuna Tournament are exactly what they sound like. Great fun battling huge fish!

July

The offshore bite is going crazy, with Tuna, Marlin, and Sharks tearing up the deep water around the canyons. They're not alone. Every major species is out in force this time of year. Take your pick!

August

One event draws anglers from across the country and beyond each August. The MidAtlantic pays out over $3,000,000 in prizes each year for winning catches of Marlin, Tuna, Mahi Mahi, and Wahoo.

September

The summer may be over, but the fishing shows no sign of stopping! Head offshore in search of Billfish and Tuna or stick to the shallows for Weakfish, Flounder, Striped Bass, and more.

October

This is your last chance to enjoy the Tuna fishing NJ is famous for! Tautog, Striped Bass, Scup, and other food fish will be around for a while still, but the big game species are getting ready to leave.

November

The weather has cooled a lot by now, and the big crowds of high season are long gone. In the water, you can still find plenty of Tautog, Striped Bass, and Flounder, if you can find a charter to take you.

December

The incredible Striper fishing NJ enjoys in summer has dropped off by now. You can find fish hiding in the bays all over the state, though. Tautog don't mind the cold, and are around well into the month.
