Our Seasons

Inshore:  We will start fishing in March for Mackerel.  Soon after the Mackerel arrive, Striped Bass, Black Drum, Bluefish, Tautog (or Tog) and Sea Bass make their presence known.  Weakfish and Flounder trips begin in May. 

Striper fishing in the famous Cape May rips (a rip is a shoal) is incredibly popular and Cape May is fast becoming the ripfishing capital of the world.

Offshore:  Shark Fishing starts off our offshore season in late May.  The Tuna arrive in mid-June, followed by the Dolphin and Billfish (Blue and White Marlin) in the beginning of July.  We also at times catch Spanish Mackerel, Wahoo, Cobia, Albacore, Bonita and Swordfish when the conditions are favorable for these species.  

Tuna:  Tuna fishing is one of our specialties.  We only fish the finest equipment.  One of the unique aspects of tuna fishing out of Cape May is that many of the most productive Tuna grounds (East Lump, 19 Fathom Lump, Massey's Canyon, Cigar, 750 Squared, Ham Bone, Hot Dog, Arlene, Tea Cup, Elephant's Trunk) are only 20-50 miles from Cape May, so there's more fishing time, and less travel time.  

Canyon Fishing:  We fish the Spencer, Lindenkohl, Wilmington, Baltimore, and Poorman's canyons.
