New Jersey Tuna charters Offshore & Inshore Options
12, 15 & 22 Hour Trips - SERIOUSLY GOOD OFFSHORE ACTION!
Inshore
12 Hour Inshore Tuna Charter!
In late June we start running day trips for Tuna. The Bluefin Tuna typically are the first to show and we can troll for them, chunk, jig, or a combination of all of the above. Our New Jersey Tuna Charters are top notch and we have a habit of putting big fish in the boat! Check out the photo at the bottom of the page, which shows our guys with both the first and second place Bluefin Tuna at the annual Jersey Shore Classic Fishing Tournament a couple years ago. Normally we depart around 4am on our New Jersey Tuna Charters, returning about the same time that afternoon. The run to the Tuna grounds is typically 40-55 miles, and our 12 hour tuna trips mostly fish inside the canyons in 30 to 50 fathoms. For a canyon fishing charter, we recommend our 15 hour or 22 hour canyon trips. They allow us enough time to get to the canyons, typically a 70 mile run, and still have plenty of fishing time. The 12 hour trips are primarily Bluefin Tuna trips, although depending on conditions, the Yellowfin Tuna may be found inside the canyons on these trips also. Each year is different, and what makes tuna fishing here in New Jersey so exciting5

15 HOUR CANYON FISHING TRIPS!
Beginning as soon as conditions warrant, we will offer long day trips to the canyon for Yellowfin Tuna, Dolphin, Marlin, and Bluefin Tuna on the way in or out. Our run to the New Jersey Canyons is about 70 to 80 miles from the Cape May area and we can fish from the Lindenkohl to the Poormans canyon on our 15 hour Canyon Fishing Trips. We target Yellowfin Tuna, White Marlin, Dolphin, Bluefin Tuna, Wahoo, and Blue Marlin on these trips. Typically we leave around 2am, arriving in the Canyons just before daybreak. We troll all day, returning to the dock around 5pm in the afternoon. Sometimes we can mix in some chunking or jigging before sunrise, depending on the time of year and whether or not the Tuna are responding better on the chunk or troll. Dolphin are often number around the lobster gear in the Canyons and Wahoo and Marlin are often mixed in with the tuna. The run to the fishing grounds is typically around 3 hours.

22 HOUR CANYON FISHING TRIPS!
We have become known for running a lot of Overnight Tuna Charters, as our crews and customers love them. No other trip allows you the maximum chance to put a nice catch of fish together and experience several different types of new jersey fishing all on one trip. We will almost always both troll and chunk on these trips, moving up and down the edge of the canyon until we find the Tuna. When we do, we stop right there and fish. We will deploy up to 2000′ of anchor line to hold us over the tuna when we find them. If we feel a drift will take us over productive water, we will drift, but more often than not, we will throw the anchor on a temperature break, a pocket of warm water, bait concentration, or just simply an area in which we are getting bites. This is just one of the extra steps that we take at OU to maximize our clients’ chances of having a memorable trip. Our base trip is up to 80 miles, which keeps prices lower and allows us to fish from the Lindenkohl Canyon to the Poormans Canyon. If the bite is hot and we need to go a bit further, we just charge for our extra fuel
