Top Catches This Season
Our regulars have been pulling in some impressive striped bass lately. Just last week, Jimmy from Philly landed a 40-pounder that had him grinning from ear to ear. And Sarah, visiting from New York, caught her personal best – a 36-inch beauty that put up one heck of a fight. These waters are teeming with fish, and with a bit of luck and our expert guidance, you could be next in line for a photo with a trophy catch!
Species You'll Want to Hook
Striped bass are the stars of the show on this trip, and for good reason. These fish are like the linebackers of the sea – powerful, hard-fighting, and a blast to catch. They can grow to impressive sizes, with some monsters pushing 50 pounds or more. Spring and fall are prime times to target these beauties, but we catch them year-round in Barnegat Light. Stripers are known for their distinctive horizontal stripes (hence the name) and their firm, white flesh that makes for excellent eating if you decide to keep your catch. What makes them so exciting to fish for is their unpredictable nature – one minute you're reeling in smoothly, the next your rod is bent double as the fish makes a run for it. It's this kind of action that keeps anglers coming back for more, trip after trip.
Why Anglers Keep Coming Back
Look, I've been running these trips for years, and I can tell you – there's something special about fishing the waters off Barnegat Light. Maybe it's the way the lighthouse stands guard over the inlet, or how the sun sparkles off the waves just right. But I think what really keeps folks coming back is the thrill of the chase. Every trip is different, every fish is a new challenge. And when you're out here with your buddies or family, sharing laughs and swapping stories between casts, well, that's what it's all about. Plus, the sense of accomplishment when you land that big striper – trust me, it's addictive.

Striped Bass
Striped bass are the pride of our local waters. These powerful fighters typically run 20-40 pounds but can reach a whopping 70. You'll find 'em cruising near structure along the shore, especially at dawn and dusk when the water's cooler. Spring and fall are prime seasons as the stripers migrate through. Folks love targeting these fish for their hard-fighting spirit and excellent eating. The meat is sweet and flaky - perfect for the grill. When you're out there, keep an eye on bird activity. Diving birds often signal baitfish, and where there's bait, there's usually bass. For the best shot at landing one, I recommend using live bait like herring or eels. Stripers can be picky eaters, but they can't resist the real deal. And here's a local tip: if you're fishing from shore, try wading out a bit at low tide. You'd be surprised how close in these big boys will come to feed.
