Whenever you’re fishing for your target species, the crew is always ready for the chance to encounter something special. Capt. James thoroughly enjoys fishing artificials for inshore species and slow pitch jigging is one of his favorite techniques. Chunking for Tuna is one of his specialties and he’ll never turn down an opportunity to go offshore. This season (2023) Capt. James will primarily be targeting striped bass for the months of April-Early June, for the summer months he will be on the hunt for Bluefin, Yellowfin, and Bigeye tuna as well as Mahi-Mahi and White Marlin. When fall returns he will be back on the hunt for stripers. Inshore/Ground-fish trips will be available on select dates.
