We specialize in Stripers, Black Drum, Tuna, Dolphin, Swordfish and Mako and Thresher Sharks

SPRING
STRIPERS, STRIPERS, STRIPERS  and BLACK DRUM TO 100 LBS.

  • Stating mid-April: Striper day trips on Cape May Rips
  • Starting early May: Afternoon and evening trips for Black Drum
  • Starting late May: We fish for stripers only at night.  All the fish are in the 25 to 50 lb. range.  These Jumbo stripers are all caught drifting eels at night on the Cape May Rips.
  • Starting early May: 10 hour combo striper-black drum trips.  We were the first charter boat out of Cape May to start the spring night combo Black Drum-Striper trips targeting the big stripers.  We have been fishing for over 15 years for Black Drum at Slaughter Beach, DE. 

Please note: The very BEST STRIPER fishing occurs around Memorial Day weekend and during the first half of  June.  All fishing is at night on the Cape May Rips.  Try our combo trips at night and even the most experienced fishermen will marvel at the size of the Stripers and Black Drum.

Most of the big Black Drum are spawning females  and all the stripers over 30 pounds are females.  Because of this, we limit our customers to a maximum of 5 Black Drum over 60 pounds per trip.  We also have a  limit of 6 jumbo night stripers over 30 pounds per trip.  We encourage catch and release on both stripers and drum.

on beautiful early June night.

Typical size stripers caught drifting eels at night on the Cape May Rips starting around Memorial weekend.

 



FALL Cape May Rips striper trip catch.  Fall Cape May Rips fishing trips usually produce larger catches of stripers but the size of the fish are smaller than the stripers we catch at night on the Rips in the spring.
