What's the Buzz on Board?

Picture this: You're cruising out of AC, the skyline fading behind you as we head to where the big ones are biting. Captain Jim's been doing this for years, so he knows all the sweet spots. We've got room for 5 on the boat, so bring your buddies or make some new fishing pals. No need to worry about grub - this trip's all about the fish, so eat a hearty breakfast before you board. And here's the kicker - our first mate's a pro at cleaning and filleting. By the time we dock, you'll have your catch ready for the grill. How's that for service?

Fishing Know-How & Gear Talk

Alright, let's talk shop. We'll be using a mix of techniques depending on what's biting. Might be bottom fishing for those tasty Sea Bass, or maybe we'll troll for Bluefish if they're running. Captain Jim's always checking the reports, so he'll have the game plan. We provide all the gear - rods, reels, bait, the works. Just bring your game face and maybe a lucky hat. Oh, and don't forget the sunscreen - the fish aren't the only things that can get fried out here!

The Big Four: Fish You'll Want to Catch

Let's break down the stars of our show, shall we? First up, the Mahi Mahi, or as we sometimes call 'em, Dorado. These guys are the acrobats of the sea - known for their wild jumps and fights. They're usually hanging around weed lines or floating debris. Best part? They're delicious on the grill.

Next, we've got the Southern Flounder. These flatfish are masters of camouflage, blending right into the sandy bottom. They might not look like much, but they put up a decent fight and taste amazing. We usually catch 'em in the warmer months when they're closer to shore.

Bluefish - now these are the bruisers of the bunch. They school up and when they're in a feeding frenzy, it's non-stop action. They've got a mouthful of teeth and aren't afraid to use 'em. Blues are most active in the spring and fall, and they're great smoked or in fish dips.

Last but not least, the Black Sea Bass. These guys are bottom dwellers with a big appetite. They're chunky little fighters that'll give your arms a workout. The meat is white and flaky - perfect for fish tacos. We can catch 'em year-round, but they're most active in the cooler months.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Look, I've been running these trips for years, and I gotta tell you - there's something special about fishing off Atlantic City. Maybe it's the mix of fish we get, or the way the skyline looks as we're heading back in with a full cooler. Whatever it is, folks keep coming back for more. And it's not just the fishing - it's the whole experience. The salty air, the sound of the waves, the thrill of not knowing what you'll catch next. It's addictive, in the best way possible.

Learn more about the species

Black Sea Bass

Black sea bass are a fun catch on our Atlantic City trips, especially from late spring through summer. These plump fish usually run 2-4 pounds but can reach up to 8. You'll find them around structure like wrecks, jetties and rocky bottoms in depths under 120 feet. Sea bass put up a scrappy fight until you get them to the surface. We target them by dropping baits like squid strips or fish chunks near bottom structure. A medium rod with 20-30 pound line does the trick. They make excellent eating with mild, flaky white meat. Here's a fun fact - all sea bass are born female, with some changing to male later. My top tip: when you find a hot spot, work it thoroughly. The bigger males often stay put while smaller fish roam more.

Bluefish

Bluefish are hard-fighting and fun to catch near Atlantic City, especially in summer and early fall. They usually run 3-10 pounds but can get over 20. Blues travel in schools, chasing baitfish near the surface. You'll often see them churning up the water in a feeding frenzy. We target them by trolling or casting lures like poppers and metal jigs. Blues hit hard and fight all the way to the boat. Be careful of their sharp teeth when unhooking. They're good eating when prepared fresh, with a rich, full flavor. My favorite local trick is to look for working birds - that often means bluefish are pushing bait to the surface below. Hit those spots fast before the school moves on. Blues make for exciting light tackle action that's great for anglers of all skill levels.

Mahi Mahi or Common Dolphinfish

Mahi Mahi (Common Dolphinfish) are fast, surface‑oriented pelagics that light up in neon greens, blues, and yellows when fired up. School fish often run 5–15 pounds, with bigger “gaffers” in the 20–40 pound class; true bulls can push past 50. Look for them along weedlines, current edges, floating debris, and temperature breaks in warm blue water—late spring through fall sees strong pushes along many coastal migration routes. They hit trolled ballyhoo, small skirted lures, jigs, and live baits with enthusiasm, so a medium or medium‑heavy rod with 20–30 pound line is plenty for most. Keep pressure steady—Mahi jump, dive, and change direction fast. Their mild, flaky white meat is a favorite at the table. Cool fact: their vivid colors fade quickly once boated, so snap photos fast. Pro tip: leave one hooked fish in the water beside the boat—schoolmates often stay close, giving everyone more shots.

Southern Flounder

Southern flounder are a tasty flatfish we catch in the bays and nearshore waters around Atlantic City. Most run 15-18 inches and 2-3 pounds, but they can reach over 20 inches. Flounder lie camouflaged on sandy or muddy bottoms, ambushing prey. We target them by drifting or anchoring over likely spots, using live minnows or strip baits on the bottom. Spring and fall are peak seasons as they move in and out of the bays. Flounder don't put up much of a fight, but they're prized for their delicious white meat. Many anglers enjoy the challenge of locating and hooking these masters of disguise. My top local tip: use a light drag setting - flounder have soft mouths and can easily tear free if you horse them.
