Captain Mac

Member since June 2018 Cape May, United States

Background: Captain Joseph McNamee is the owner and operator of the company. He has been running party boats and charters from Cape may to Brigantine since 1980. Over the years, he has located various fishing grounds up and down the coast and acquired a wealth of knowledge. Joseph enjoys being out on the water and sharing his passion with his clients and friends. Joe was introduced to the art of fishing at the age of 7 when his father took him catching fish for the first time. He was hooked!
Techniques: I don't have any set style. I like to try different things on different days.

Flounder and Sea Bass

Jun 30, 2025 Cape May

We had a good pick of small sea basd and a few keeper sea bass that were returned to catch another day. Went to back bay for a couple flounder but only one keeper. We tried to catch a striped bass for a young man, but they didn't bite.

The Joe crew did a fantastic job getting us fish. Great dedication to helping us fish… constantly making sure we had bait and really cared about us catching fish. We caught flounder and sea bass that we cooked on the grill when we got home. 😋 can’t say enough good about our experience with team Joe…( captain Mac).

We had an incredible time with Captain Mac & his first mate Jay shark fishing. They were friendly , patient, helpful, and very knowledgeable. Especially with our 2 kiddos! Unfortunately, we only caught 2 sharks but that wasn’t their fault by any means. They were wonderful and it was all together a great experience! We definitely would recommend them. In fact we already had! We look forward to another trip with Captain Mac & his 1st mate Jay hopefully next year!

We had an amazing trip out with Captain Mac & Jay shark fishing! We caught 6 large sharks that kept getting larger & larger as the trip went on (from 6-10 feet!). They were very informative, knowledgeable, personable, & helpful from the start. My 9 year daughter was also present & enjoyed seeing the sharks up close. I highly recommend them for all your fishing trip needs. We’ve done larger charters before & much prefer them over the rest!

Hi Nicole, thanks for the nice review. The boys were great, and troopers as well, they stayed at the rail and fished the whole time in not the best conditions. Capt. Mac
