My father introduced me to the sport at a young age and I was always driven to be on the ocean bending a fishing rod. By the age of 15, I had secured a job as a deckhand on the Dauntless where I then proceeded to get my 100-ton Master Captains license. I have been running trips ever since I got my license in 2015.

    Hard working crew!

    Raritan Bay Striper (PM)2 adults

    Captain John and 1st mate Mitch worked their butt's off to find fish and get us on them. There were plenty of times where they could have just said the fish aren't biting and that's the way it goes, but they kept looking and trying different tactics till we finally reeled in 5 nice stripers. Two of them keepers and the other three over the slot limit. Look forward to using them again!

    Thankyou so much for sharing Justin! Very happy you enjoyed the day and we made the most of your experience. Cant wait to have you and your crew back out. See you soon!

    Best Six-Pack Charter in New Jersey

    Fluke

    Captain Joe is a young, aggressive captain that works his butt off to put you on the fish. He grew up mating on the party boats. Now he owns and runs the cleanest charter boat in New Jersey. I have caught everything with him: stripers, sea bass and fluke to name a few. You want a great day on the water fishing with a great captain and crew, then book a trip on the Nearfall. You will have a great time. That is why I fish at least six times a year with Captain Joe on the Nearfall.

    Thanks Dan! Cant wait for the next one!

    Great Day On The Water

    10 Hour Trip – Extended Combo6 adults

    Had an awesome day fishing with Captain John and Ryan. They knew to keep us inshore due to rougher conditions offshore. Caught our fill of porgy for good eating, and still had time to go for blackfish and we almost got some keepers. Both guys super helpful and friendly. Everyone had a blast. Only one small issue was not enough seating for 6, but it wasn't a big deal.

    Thank you for the review! You guys were great and we look forward to the next one.
