As fall approaches and the water temperature begins to enter into the 50's, stripers become the game fish of choice. It is not unusual for these fish to reach over 30lbs and we target these fish by trolling a combination of bunker spoons, umbrellas rigs, and mojo's to get deep into the water column. These trips are fun for anglers of all levels as we stay within three miles of the shoreline, which is the legal limit allowed by the federal government.
We generally fish off Island Beach State Park where the water depth varies from 30-65ft. We leave the dock at 7:00am and enter the ocean through Barnegat Inlet. The mornings can be cold but don’t worry, Benita J is outfitted with three heaters and a coffee maker to make the experience very comfortable. Benita J also has bonus tags available for customers who choose to keep an extra fish. These trips will depart from Holiday Harbor Marina in Waretown, NJ. Benita J is docked in slip B1.
