What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Wildwood, New Jersey for the first time?

They take care of you so my only recommendation would be that since you pay with cash that you should get the money early as I had a difficult time finding a bank that would let me withdraw the money in full.

Talk to Captain Nick Lyons of the Tara Anne Sport Fishing Charter. Well run family fishing Charter, highly recommend.

Be prepared for some ups and downs from the waves, and a bit of a ride out into the ocean (40-50 minutes) before you get to where the fish are. But all in all it was a lot of fun.

Hire a charter with a captain eager to work hard to find fish so everyone on board catches fish.
