Striped bass charters are offered from November to early December. We target trophy striped bass in the ocean out to three miles from LBI to the Raritan Bay. We generally troll using bunker spoons, umbrellas rigs, and mojos to get deep in the water column where these big stripers feed. Enjoy fishing for one New Jersey’s most prized gamefish in a comfortable heated cabin. If you prefer top water plugging or jigging, bring your favorite rod and reel set up. Any trip can be customized to meet your needs
