What anglers said about fishing in Jersey Shore

Water was a little choppy, which can be rough on some. Some small children would not have been happy unless they were huckleberry Finn types...

I looked up Brigantine fishing charter online. Did research on the boats and captains experience. I was very happy with my choice. Captain Leo from Get hooked fishing charter was very professional. What a safe and great trip.

Know before you go. Research your charter and have an idea what you want out of the trip.

Look at the wind speed well in advance so that you can target any and all available fish. June, as I hear, is a better fishing month.

It’s an awesome time to go in July with the exception if there is any type of turbulence in the atmosphere such as what was encountered by us, some Highwinds thunder and lightning I would recommend exactly what our captain recommended. Wait an extra day if need be, and I have an amazing day the next, when things are calm, it’s the best experience ever hands-down.

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

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.

There are restrictions on bass and fluke that should be researched before going. Cod is not available at this time, but will be in colder months. The beaches however cannot be beat in the summer.

Would have loved to catch some Striped Bass but I don't think we went at the best time of year for them. We did catch a wide variety of other types, however, and several were even keepers!
