Jersey Cape Guide Service
Experience a private multi-day fishing charter from Sea Isle City with Captain Joe. Target striped bass and more on this unforgettable fall adventure.
Jersey Cape Guide Service is a Sea Isle City, New Jersey fishing charter operator offering guided inshore and offshore trips from back bays to the open ocean. The business operates 24' Custom Eastern center consoles and 18' Scout flats boats to accommodate a range of trip styles, from two-angler flats trips to larger mixed-party charters.
Trips include short four-hour options and extended six-hour charters targeting flounder, sea bass, bonito, bluefish, and striped bass. Seasonal specialty charters run in summer for mahi mahi and sharks — including brown, dusky, and hammerhead species — and a Winter Striper season that runs March through December. Multi-day weekend options travel to Montauk in September and October with Captain Joe, and winter‑to‑spring trips travel to Islamorada in the Florida Keys from January through April.
Guides emphasize personalized trip planning, family-friendly experiences, and adaptable techniques such as trolling, jigging, fly fishing, and bait setups to match conditions and angler skill levels. Flats-boat excursions are tailored for one or two anglers exploring estuaries and salt marshes, while ocean charters offer offshore trolling and light-tackle opportunities.
Availability is limited on specialty and multi-day trips, and clients are encouraged to reserve early. With local knowledge of Southern New Jersey tides, seasonal migrations, and productive fishing grounds, Jersey Cape Guide Service provides guided fishing experiences designed for anglers seeking targeted species, educational guidance, and memorable days on the water. Equipment, tackle, and safety gear are provided, and guides adapt presentations for beginners through experienced anglers to maximize success on every trip safely.
