Battle Giants on a Full-Day Offshore Adventure

Get ready to test your mettle against some of the ocean's fiercest fighters on this private offshore fishing trip. We're talking serious deep-water action, folks. Our captain will take you up to 40 miles out where the big boys play – massive Bluefin Tuna, toothy Sharks, hard-pulling Striped Bass, and feisty Bluefish. This isn't your average day on the water; it's a chance to tangle with true ocean predators and maybe land the catch of a lifetime.

What to Expect on the Water

This full-day weekday trip is all about customization. Want to focus on chasing down schools of Bluefin? No problem. Keen to try your hand at shark fishing? We've got you covered (just keep in mind there's a small surcharge for chumming). Or maybe you're after that trophy Striper photo – we know exactly where they're biting. Our expert crew will tailor the day to your fishing goals, making sure you get the most out of every minute on the water. We provide all the gear you need, from rods and reels to bait and tackle. Just bring your own grub, drinks, and a healthy dose of enthusiasm – trust me, you'll need it when that first reel starts screaming!

Techniques That Land Lunkers

Out here in the deep blue, we use a mix of techniques to put you on the fish. For tuna, we often troll with spreader bars and daisy chains to mimic schools of baitfish. When we're after sharks, we might set up a drift and deploy a chum slick to bring them in close. Striper fishing could involve anything from live-lining bunker to jigging wire line, depending on what's working that day. And for bluefish? Sometimes it's as simple as tossing out a popper and hanging on tight. Whatever species we're targeting, our crew's got the know-how to maximize your chances. We're always watching the sonar, tracking water temperatures, and staying in touch with other captains to keep you in the action all day long.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Striped Bass: These legendary fish are the pride of the Northeast. Stripers can grow over 50 pounds and put up a fight that'll leave your arms aching. They're smart, strong, and absolutely delicious if you decide to keep one for the grill. Spring and fall are prime time for big bass, but we catch them all season long.

Shortfin Mako Shark: If you're after pure adrenaline, Makos deliver. These speed demons can hit 60 mph in the water and are known for their acrobatic jumps when hooked. They're a catch-and-release only species, but the thrill of battling one of these apex predators is unforgettable.

Bluefin Tuna: The heavyweight champs of our waters. Bluefin can top 1,000 pounds, though most we encounter are in the 100-300 pound range. Still, hooking into one of these torpedo-shaped powerhouses is like trying to stop a freight train with a fishing rod. They're typically most abundant from June through October.

Blue Shark: These beautiful blue-colored sharks are often curious and will come right up to the boat. They're not as aggressive as some other shark species, which makes them great for novice anglers looking to tangle with a big predator. We see them most often in the warmer months.

Bluefish: Don't let their smaller size fool you – blues are all attitude. These chomping machines travel in schools and can turn a quiet day into mayhem in seconds. They're great fun on light tackle and put up a scrappy fight pound for pound. Plus, they're excellent eating if you know how to prepare them right.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

There's something special about fishing these offshore waters that keeps folks coming back year after year. Maybe it's the anticipation as we cruise out past the sight of land. Or the moment when a rod doubles over and line starts peeling off the reel at an alarming rate. Could be the camaraderie that develops over a long day on the water, swapping stories and cheering each other on. Whatever it is, this trip has a way of getting under your skin. And let's be honest – once you've felt the raw power of a 200-pound tuna on the other end of your line, regular fishing just doesn't quite cut it anymore.

Time to Book Your Spot

If you're itching to test your angling skills against some serious offshore giants, this is the trip for you. Remember, we run Monday through Thursday, which means smaller crowds and more flexibility to chase the bite. With room for up to 4 anglers, it's perfect for a group of friends or family looking for a private fishing adventure. Don't wait too long to book, though – prime dates fill up fast, especially when the fishing's hot. Give us a call, and let's get you out there where the big fish roam. Trust me, once you experience the heart-pounding action of offshore fishing, you'll be hooked for life!

Learn more about the species

Blue Shark

Blue sharks are one of the most common large sharks we encounter offshore. They average 6-10 feet long but can reach up to 12 feet. You'll find them in open water, usually from the surface down to about 350 feet deep. Blues prefer cooler water, so we target them more in spring and fall. They're not the strongest fighters, but they make up for it in persistence. Chumming is key - we'll set up a scent trail to draw them in. Fresh oily baits like mackerel work well. Blues are curious and will often investigate the boat, giving you a great up-close look at these beautiful sharks. Their deep blue color is striking. We practice catch and release to help conserve shark populations. Tip: Use circle hooks to make releasing them easier and safer for both you and the shark.

Bluefin Tuna

Bluefin tuna are the heavyweight champions of our offshore waters. These massive fish average 6-8 feet long and 500+ pounds, with some topping 1,000 pounds. We find them in the open ocean, often following temperature breaks and bait schools. Prime season is summer into fall as they migrate through. Bluefin are prized for their powerful fights - expect long runs that'll test your stamina. They're also considered the finest eating fish in the sea. We'll troll with spreader bars or live bait like mackerel to entice a bite. When a school is located, chunking or jigging can be very effective. Just remember, bluefin are highly regulated. We follow strict quotas and size limits to ensure sustainable fishing. Pro tip: Watch for working birds or bait balls on the surface - that often means bluefin are feeding below.

Bluefish

Bluefish are the perfect sport fish for anglers of all levels. These aggressive predators average 3-5 pounds but can reach over 20 pounds. We find them both inshore and offshore, often in large schools churning up the surface as they feed. They migrate through our waters from spring to fall, with the biggest fish usually showing up late summer. Bluefish are known for their strong fights and razor-sharp teeth. They'll hit just about any lure or bait, making them fun and easy to catch. Try metal lures, topwater plugs, or live bait like mullet. When a school is feeding, the action can be non-stop. The meat is oily but tasty when prepared fresh. Local tip: Look for diving birds to locate bluefish blitzes. Just be careful handling them - those teeth are no joke!

Shortfin Mako Shark

Shortfin makos are the speed demons of the shark world. They're built for chasing down fast prey, with a sleek body that can top 30 mph. Average size is 6-8 feet, but they can get over 12 feet long. We find them offshore in the open ocean, usually within the top few hundred feet of water. Summer and early fall are prime mako season when water temps are right. Anglers love targeting them for the high-flying acrobatics - these sharks will leap clear out of the water when hooked. The fight is intense, so heavy tackle is a must. Chumming helps draw them in, then we'll use fresh fish baits like mackerel or bluefish. Landing a mako takes skill and patience. Remember, we practice catch and release to help conserve the population. Keep an eye out for their distinctive pointed snout and metallic blue color.

Striped Bass

Striped bass are a prized catch around here, typically running 20-40 pounds but can get much bigger. You'll find them near structure along the coast - reefs, sandbars, and drop-offs. These powerful swimmers put up an exciting fight. We target them spring through fall as they migrate, with peak season in the summer. Stripers love to chase bait, so we'll look for birds working the water as a clue. Live eels or bunker chunks work great as bait. When you hook one, be ready for strong runs and even some jumps. The meat is delicious too - mild and flaky. Pro tip: Fish the tide changes for your best shot at a trophy striper. Just remember the size and bag limits so we can keep the fishery healthy for years to come.
