What's the Deal?

This weekend warrior special takes you straight to the heart of Striped Bass country. We'll cruise out to Race Point, where the currents create a perfect feeding ground for big bass and blues. Our experienced captains know every nook and cranny of these waters, so you'll be hitting the honey holes from the get-go. We provide all the tackle you need for up to six anglers, so you can focus on the fun part – catching fish! Available Friday through Sunday, it's the perfect way to kick off or wind down your weekend with some serious rod-bending action.

Fishing the Rips

At Race Point, we'll be using a mix of techniques to target stripers and blues. Expect to do some trolling with tube-and-worm rigs, which are deadly effective in these waters. When we mark fish on the sonar, we might switch to live-lining mackerel or throwing topwater plugs into the rips. The key here is versatility – we'll adapt our tactics to what the fish are telling us. Don't worry if you're new to these methods; our crew will show you the ropes and have you fishing like a pro in no time.

Why Anglers Can't Get Enough

Race Point isn't just another fishing spot – it's a legendary striper stronghold. The unique geography here creates a fish magnet effect, concentrating baitfish and the predators that follow them. It's not uncommon to see birds working the water, a tell-tale sign of a blitz below. When the bite is on, it's non-stop action that'll have your arms aching (in the best way possible). Plus, the scenery ain't too shabby either – you might spot seals, whales, or even a pod of dolphins while you're out there.

Fish on the Menu

Striped Bass: The star of the show, stripers in these waters can grow to impressive sizes. Known for their powerful runs and acrobatic jumps, hooking into a big striper is an experience you won't forget. These fish are most active during the cooler months, with peak season typically running from May to October. Anglers love targeting stripers not just for the fight, but also for their delicious white meat – perfect for the grill or oven.

Bluefin Tuna: While not our primary target, Race Point waters are known to hold some monster bluefin tuna. These powerful fish can weigh hundreds of pounds and put up a fight that'll test even the most experienced angler. If we're lucky enough to hook into one, be prepared for a battle that could last hours. Bluefin are typically more common in the late summer and early fall, when they follow the baitfish migrations.

Bluefish: Don't let their reputation as a "trash fish" fool you – bluefish are some of the hardest-fighting fish in these waters. Known for their aggressive strikes and chomping teeth, hooking into a big blue is like connecting with a freight train. They're often found in the same areas as stripers, providing a great change of pace when the bass bite slows. Bluefish are most abundant from late spring through early fall and can make for some exciting topwater action.
