I have loved fishing since I was 7 years old and caught my first Trout in freshwater. In 1963 I caught my first saltwater fish, a Bluefish, and I was hooked! I fished on my own small boats and others for 15 years, and in 1978, I passed my test for my captain's license and so it began. I have fished out of Cape May and Great Egg Inlet for 40 years now and I am proud to say that mine is the only charter boat still around since the time I started. I must be doing something right! I love catching fish but I hate NOT catching fish even more. Nowadays, I find great joy in watching my clients, both young and old, enjoying catching fish. Kids and moms are always welcome. I taught in a school for 31 years, so even if you have no experience fishing, I can and will teach you and your party how to do it.

Summer is over and the kids are back in school. This is the perfect month to grab some alone time and plan a nice relaxing trip with your favorite fishing buddies. You can target Black Seabass around nearshore structures, Striped Bass in the bay, and Weakfish in shallow flats.

Dan and crew kicked some Boomer butt!
May 9, 2019 • Margate City
Dan Mozgow and his crew came on board to try the Black Drum that they had never caught. They ended up with 5 nice fish, 4 of which were 50# + fish!Several of the guys caught the bigest fish they had ever caught! Nothing wrong with that!
