Background
Capt. Jonathan runs trips out of Cape May aboard a 25’ Mako. These waters are known for Striped Bass and Black Drum and he will show you how to catch them, whether you're trolling or bottom fishing. With great knowledge of the area, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!
