Striped Bass

Striped bass are the most popular fish of the inshore waters of the Cape.  Their size, strength, and closeness to shore make them extremely popular among sport anglers.  We fish for striped bass in both the spring and fall.  The spring is great from late March through May, and the fall is superb from mid-October through December(and sometimes into January!).

Wreck Fishing

Fishing the wrecks and reef sites of Cape May provides anglers with an opportunity to experience fantastic fishing action with some hard fighting game fish that are also exceptional table fare.  Sea bass and tautog(blackfish) are the two most sought after fish on these trips.  Generally, fishing for tog is best from November  thru the middle of January, and again in the spring starting in early April.  The spring fishery usually lasts right into the summer, as well.  Sea bass fishing is usually very good throughout the season, with the best bites from early May thru June and September thru October.

Fluke Fishing / Bottom Fishing

Fluke, otherwise known as summer flounder,  are the most popular inshore fish to target from mid-June thru September.  They are lots of fun to catch, and they are also great eating game fish.  We target fluke on our four, five, six, and eight hour deepwater doormat fluke trips in the Delaware Bay and Ocean, depending on where the best fishing is at the time.  Also on these trips, there is a chance for lots of variety!  Anglers also have a shot at catching weakfish, sea bass, croakers, and bluefish on these trips, as well.

Tuna Chunking

Chunking for tuna is one of the most exciting kinds of fishing anglers can experience!  Targetted on these trips are bluefin and yellowfin tuna, and anglers also have a shot at catching mahi mahi and other offshore game fish.  Tuna are one of the most powerful game fish to be taken on rod and reel, and provide outstanding sport and excellent eating!  Tuna fishing usually heats up towards the end of June, with the bite lasting through July, August, and into September.

Black Drum

Black drum are big, tough fish that invade our waters in mid-May, with the best bite continuing through mid-June.  They average in weight from 40lbs. to 80lbs., with fish up to 100lbs. caught every year.  Make your reservations early, as availability for drum is limited.  The best bite usually focuses around the spring tides near the new or full moon.

Chumming and Trolling

Inshore chumming and trolling around Cape May can be very productive throughout the season.  In the spring from May thru June, big bluefish and sharks can be found chumming many of the inshore lumps, ridges, and wrecks.  Through the summer, false albacore, bluefish, bonita, mahi mahi, spanish mackerel, and scattered tuna make their appearance at these very same locations.  These fish are fast, tough, and incredibly fun to catch!

COMBO TRIPS We also run COMBO TRIPS for multiple species in a trip!  These are most often on our 8-hr. trips.  For example, we could start a day in the early summer by sea bass fishing, and then switch to fluke for the end of the day.  Ask for details.

OFFERING OPEN BOAT and PRIVATE CHARTERS We offer both open boat and private charters.  Open boat trips sail everyday that the Adam Bomb III is not booked for a private charter.  Open boat inshore striper and bottom fishing trips are five hours and cost $90 per person.  We also offer 8-hr. open boat trips for wreck and fluke fishing for $110 per person.  This is great if you don't have a full group, or you want to get out on short notice to experience some great fishing action.  Call ahead for schedule and availability at (609) 602-6834!
