Excellent trolling

Aug 7, 2025 Wildwood

The inshore trolling has remained great plenty of action. We have been limiting out with bluefish almost daily and getting some spanish mackerel.

Tons of action on 6hr trip

Jul 31, 2025 Wildwood

Today we ran a 6hr trip. First half of the trip we went trolling had plenty of action, limited out on blues and had a Spanish mackerel. Second half we bottom fished, again had plenty of action. Managed 4 nice seabass and a trigger fish.

Phenomenal trolling

Jul 30, 2025 Wildwood

Both our morning and afternoon trolling trips today were excellent. Tons of action both trips with limits of nice size bluefish.

4hr trolling

Jul 24, 2025 Wildwood

Our 4 hr trolling trips are still very productive and should remain that way threw September. The Afternoon trips are usually as productive as the morning trips too.

Plenty of action

Jul 23, 2025 Wildwood

We had plenty of action today on both our morning and afternoon trips. We limited out on bluefish both trips and caught so many we were throwing them back. Not a lot of spanish mackerel today, we managed 1 on both trips.

Great action trolling

Jul 22, 2025 Wildwood

We had plenty of action on both our 4 hr trips today. Plenty of blues and some spanish mackerel. The trolling usually stays good threw September.

Half Day Trip (AM)

We had an absolutely fantastic time today! We decided to treat our grandkids who love to fish with a half day outing. The staff was so personable, attentive and not only taught the kids how to fish but assisted them with every detail. Thank you Captain Nick and Joe! Would highly recommend.

Our trip started out quick, landing our first fish within 5 minutes of putting the poles in the water. But then we hit a spell of bad luck and couldn’t get much action for the next 3 hours even after trying a second location. When we headed back in we thought we were done for the day, but no - the crew took us to a third location on the way in even though we were past our scheduled end time. An hour later we had landed a total of 20 bluefish and the mood in our party of 6 went from tired... More

We had a great time on our half day trip (afternoon) with Captain Nick and First Mate Joe. We didn’t catch any keepers, but lots of smaller fish. We were a mostly inexperienced group. Nick and Joe were very knowledgeable, helpful and kind. Would definitely recommend!
