Paramount
Sea Bass • Porgies • Ling
Paramount is a 100' fishing vessel operating from Brielle, New Jersey, offering a range of scheduled public fishing trips. The fleet’s calendar features short afternoon squid trips, full-day 9-hour outings, 10.5-hour marathons, and a 13-hour mid-range wreck trip that fishes 20–40 miles offshore. Trips target species such as Ling, Cod, Pollock, Winter Flounder, Blackfish, Sea Bass, and local squid.
Several trips include bait: clams are provided on the Ling, Cod & Flounder marathon, and other full-day trips note that bait is provided. The 5-hour Afternoon Squid Trips list rod rentals as an available option for anglers who need gear. Many full-day routes explore wrecks, rocks, and reefs, while mid-range trips concentrate on deeper wrecks for species like Ling, Cod, and Blackfish.
Paramount follows a scheduled maintenance cycle and enters bi-annual drydock; the vessel’s next drydock begins on March 24th, temporarily pausing sailings and offering a behind-the-scenes look at maintenance. All trip descriptions, durations, and target species are published with each departure so anglers can choose the experience that fits their goals and availability.
For anglers seeking a variety of fishing options out of Brielle, Paramount’s mix of marathons, full days, wreck trips, and squid excursions provides clear, factual choices tailored to different target species and trip lengths.
