Bottom Fishing All bait and rigs included

Cod fishing in New Jersey, United States centers on Atlantic Cod, a prized Groundfish known for firm, tasty fillets and powerful headshakes. Cold Atlantic waters and countless wrecks make this state a smart place to target Cod during cooler months.
Most trips use bottom fishing over wrecks and reefs. Bottom fishing means dropping bait to the seafloor and waiting for a bite. Fresh clams and cut bait are common. Many captains also jig with metal lures, which you lift and drop to trigger strikes. Sturdy rods, sensitive tips, and braided line help you feel subtle bites in deep water.
Charter days often run full-day to reach productive structure. Expect a steady ride to offshore wrecks, careful anchoring, and clear coaching from the crew. This is great for first-timers who want guidance and for experienced anglers chasing a classic Northeast catch. Dress in warm, waterproof layers, wear non-slip shoes, and consider motion sickness meds. Bring snacks, a camera, and a small cooler for cleaned fillets if harvesting is allowed.
New Jersey offers broad Cod grounds from Sandy Hook and the Mudhole area to wrecks off Manasquan, Barnegat, and down toward Cape May. Artificial reef sites along the Garden State coast also hold fish, especially where currents sweep bait. Captains track conditions and move between pieces to stay on the bite.
Before you go, check New Jersey saltwater license rules and federal and state regulations for Atlantic Cod. Confirm open seasons, permitted harvest, and any size or gear rules with your captain. Regulations change, so review them close to your trip.
