Fishing in Barnegat Bay

Taking up a third of New Jersey’s Atlantic coast, Barnegat Bay is a prime destination for holiday-makers and fishing enthusiasts. The 42-mile stretch of water comprises some of the east coast’s best brackish waters. Come fishing in Barnegat Bay and explore a range of fishing grounds unrivaled elsewhere.

Types of Fishing

From the Metedeconk River in the north to the wetlands of the south, there’s something inshore for everyone, while an offshore trip will appeal to the more adventurous angler. Bring the whole family aboard to learn to fish, or get your own kicks – it’s all here!

Inshore Fishing

The obvious place to start is on the bay itself. Separated from the Atlantic ocean by a barrier jetty, its brackish waters are a popular haunt for many exciting and delicious fish.

These calm, shallow waters are an ideal place to learn to fish. Take a charter out of Point Pleasant and you’ll discover lighter fish like Fluke, Weakfish, and Blowfish from the canals to the bay.

A charter out of Lacey or Ocean Townships will give you the best chance of hitting the sweet spots. Avid anglers can use this opportunity to land the Barnegat “Grand Slam!” Spend a whole day on the water and give yourself the best chance of this prized title.

Target Weakfish as the sun comes up, before targeting Bluefish around Sedge Island. In the afternoon, you can take advantage of the Fluke as they appear in the warm water, before hitting up the rocks around Barnegat Inlet for huge Stripers!

Offshore Fishing

Any angler worth their salt will relish the chance to battle it out with some monster fish out in the Atlantic. You’ll need a full day to get to the fishing grounds offshore, with some productive reefs around 30 miles from shore. If you’re lucky, some Yellowfin Tuna and Mahi Mahi will make their way past in summer.

If you want almost guaranteed success, then venture 70 miles out to the canyons or the continental shelf 110 miles out. White Marlin, Bluefin Tuna, and Mako Sharks join the Yellowfins and Mahi Mahi, to give you unbeatable fishing in the Atlantic’s deep waters.

Beware, though, these trips aren’t for the faint-hearted. Not only will you need at least 10 hours on the choppy waters, you’ll also need some serious strength to battle it out with these beasts!

What to Expect

Most captains run trips in the bay and offshore, so your trip will most likely take place aboard a luxury offshore sportfishing vessel. Comfortable and with all the amenities you need, you could spend days on the boat – and some captains give you that option.

To get to the deep waters offshore, you’ll need at least a full day. Why not take advantage of it and spend multiple days on the water?

Captains also tailor their trips to certain fish, and you can spend as little as four hours perusing the inshore bay, or up to 10 hours going after some of its prized fish.

How to Prepare

Everything you need for a productive day on the water awaits you on board, including all fishing gear and plenty of bait or lures. Your fishing license is even covered by the charter operator so all you need to do is bring some drinks and snacks and make yourself at home!

With year-round angling opportunities in the bay and beyond, there’s no reason to miss out on the incredible fishing in Barnegat Bay. Make New Jersey your next fishing destination and you won’t regret it!

Barnegat Bay Temporadas de Pesca

Enero

Most captains will have their boats out of the water for repairs as the year starts. But if you’re lucky enough to find someone to take you out, then there’s plenty of exciting inshore action to be had.

Febrero

The weather doesn’t look like it’s getting any better so a trip offshore is out of the question. Fear not, though, as winter Flukes, Tautog, and Weakfish fill the bay for you to target.

Marzo

Spring dawns and brings with it plenty of new opportunities. More and more captains take the plunge and get out on the water, with the inshore bite still strong despite the mild weather.

Abril

Get ready for the season to kick into flow as it’s all steam ahead when April comes. Hit the inshore waters for the pick of the fishing, while Mako Sharks provide plenty of pulse-racing action offshore.

Mayo

While you may feel it’s time to get offshore, you won’t want to miss the inshore season at its peak in May. Stripers, Bluefish, and Black Seabass are the cream of the crop, so head out and fill the boat.

Junio

The inshore season is still in full-swing as the offshore fishing opportunities start heating up with the weather. Catch the earliest Tuna and Marlin, or fill your cooler with Striped Bass, Flukes, and Seabass.

Julio

Weakfish and Flukes hit their stride in June, with the Point Pleasant Fluke Tournament taking place inshore. Spend a couple of days on the water and head offshore for some Billfish, too.

Agosto

August may be the best month to get on the water in and out of Barnegat Bay. Bonito, Mahi Mahi, and Bluefin Tuna join the offshore party, with the inshore action as good as ever.

Septiembre

There’s no sign that the season is drawing to a close, with plenty of chances to get on the water in September. Head offshore and battle it out with Marlin, Mahi, and Tuna for the last hurrah of the season.

Octubre

The shallow waters are the place to be once more as the autumn weather kicks in. The pelagics have departed, leaving behind plenty of delicious creatures inshore for you to target.

Noviembre

Striped Bass, Bluefish, and Seabass are still abundant in Barnegat Bay in November. Don’t miss out on one of your last and best chances to fill the freezer before the holiday season.

Diciembre

As the year draws to a close, so does the fishing season. Many captains take December to rest before the new year. If you do find one hardy soul on the water, then it will be on the bay, going after a Christmas gift.

Take some gulp and a fluke rig and get to casting. You should catch something.

There was a mix up on fishingbokker. We thought we were going out for fluke but that wasn’t the case. We didn’t realize until we were at the marina. Not a huge deal but was more of a mixup on the website than a negative review on the ship or captain.

Captain Dan and Ken were great. Very attentive and offered fishing tips and information about the types of fish we caught. We split the day between strippers and bottom fishing. 5 out of 6 of us caught the biggest strippers in their lives, ranging from 39 to 46 inches! Unfortunately had to throw them back due to size limits. We also came home with some seabass and porgies for dinner!

My father and I had a great trip full of memories and fishing. The fishing was nonstop, we caught approximately 30 flounder with 8 keepers along with a 27" 7.3lb flounder (A catch of a lifetime) Jesse did an amazing job putting us on the fish and made our trip very enjoyable. The mate also did a great job making sure we had fresh bait and jigs.

Definitely would do it again. It was an off day with strong wind and choppy waves but the captain managed to bring us to the fish anyway. Captain Tom and Mate Joe were great hosts which made the day better. Also make sure to ask for the trybein when aboard the vessel!

Had a great day out on the water with Capt. Alan. My son and I enjoyed the fluke fishing and caught a few keepers. The conditions were great, just a bit windy, but we still had a great morning. Will be back this fall for Striper fishing.

I chartered the boat solo so I could get a good dose of tight lines, and did I ever! From the moment we left the inlet, it was nonstop action. My arms are exhausted from all the fun. I’ll be back again!

Capt. Cole knew his stuff. He kept us in the fish all trip long. Super pleasant, and very attentive to our fishing desires. The boat stabilizing equipment really works to keep the boat from rocking - a real plus.

It was the best trip we ever took. We caught over 100 flounder. Only had 7 keepers but non stop fishing all day. We all recommend captain Anthony and First Mate Tommy to anyone that loves reeling in fish.

Thank you for the memories. I took my wife, daughter, and two nieces out yesterday for a great day of fishing. Jesi and Freddy knew the area and put us on the fish. The guys are hard working and easy going. Nice boat with plenty of room and gear. Everyone had fun. Looking forward to coming back and going after shark or tuna with these guys. I highly recommend them.

Great way to get out on the water. Dan parked us on a wreck and we caught our sea bass limit rather quickly. Conditions made fluking tough, but Dan never gave up. We did pull some in. Highly recommend it, Easy way to spend sometime on the water. He and his mate made us feel welcome.

This was a great trip. Captain Cole knew what he was doing as well as personable and professional which is extremely hard to find both traits. An overall great experience no matter the amount of experience you may have from new to Saltwater Fishing or decades of experience. I would recommend this charter to all and will definitely be back next year when we return to the east coast!
