Hey there, anglers! Ready for a laid-back day on the water that's perfect for newbies and families? Captain Bryan's got you covered with this full-day trip out of Brick Township. We're talking seven hours of fishing action, chasing after some of Jersey's most popular gamefish: striped bass and bluefish. No worries if you've never held a rod before—the captain's all about making sure everyone has a blast and learns the ropes. So grab your hat and sunscreen, and let's hit the bay for some good old-fashioned fishing fun!
Picture this: you're cruising out at dawn, the smell of salt in the air, and the excitement of what's to come. Captain Bryan's got all the gear you need, so just bring yourself and maybe a snack or two. We'll be using live bait, tossing lures, and doing some trolling—all the tricks of the trade to get those fish biting. And don't sweat it if you're green; the captain's got patience for days and loves showing folks the ropes. By the end of the day, you might just be hooked on fishing for life (pun totally intended).
Alright, let's break it down. We're not just chucking lines in the water and hoping for the best. Captain Bryan's got some slick moves up his sleeve. Live bait? Oh yeah, nothing gets a striper's attention like a juicy bunker. We might do some trolling, which is basically dragging lures behind the boat—perfect for covering more water and finding where the fish are hanging out. And if the blues are running, hold onto your hats! These guys hit lures like they're going out of style. The captain will show you how to work the rod, set the hook, and reel in your catch like a pro. Before you know it, you'll be swapping fish stories with the best of 'em.
Let's talk about our star players: striped bass and bluefish. Stripers are the rockstars of the Northeast coast. These silver-sided beauties with their distinctive black stripes can grow to over 50 pounds! They're smart, they're strong, and when they hit your line, you'll know it. Spring and fall are prime time for stripers in Brick, but Captain Bryan knows where to find them year-round. They love to hang around structure, so we might hit some jetties or bridges to find the big ones.
Now, bluefish? These guys are the party animals of the sea. They travel in schools and when they're feeding, it's like a underwater fireworks show. Blues are known for their aggressive strikes and powerful fights. They've got a mouth full of razor-sharp teeth, so watch those fingers when you're unhooking them! These silver torpedoes usually show up in late spring and stick around till fall. When we find a school of blues, get ready for some non-stop action that'll have your arms feeling like jelly (in the best way possible).
Look, fishing isn't just about catching fish (though that's pretty awesome). It's about disconnecting from the daily grind and reconnecting with nature. It's about the stories you'll tell and the memories you'll make. Maybe it's your kid's first fish, or maybe it's the one that got away. Either way, you're in for a day of laughs, learning, and some good old-fashioned fun. Plus, there's something special about being out on the water, surrounded by the beauty of the Jersey Shore. It's the kind of day that sticks with you, long after you've docked.
So there you have it, folks. A full day of fishing that's tailor-made for beginners, families, or anyone looking to wet a line without any fuss. Captain Bryan's got the know-how, the gear, and the attitude to make sure you have a blast out there. Whether you're dreaming of battling a big striper or want to experience the thrill of a bluefish blitz, this trip's got you covered. And hey, even if the fish aren't jumping in the boat (because let's face it, that's fishing), you're guaranteed a day of fresh air, new skills, and maybe a new addiction to angling. So what are you waiting for? Book your spot with Stripe Tease Sportfishing and get ready to make some waves in Brick Township. Trust me, your future self will thank you for it. Tight lines!
Bluefish are aggressive predators that'll give you an exciting fight. They usually run 3-10 pounds but can reach up to 20. You'll find them in our local bays and along the coast from June through October. Bluefish hunt in schools, often churning up the water in a feeding frenzy we call a "blitz." They'll hit just about any bait or lure, making them fun for beginners. Use wire leaders though - those sharp teeth will slice through regular line. Bluefish taste great fresh off the grill, but clean them quickly to preserve the flavor. For a real thrill, try topwater lures during a blitz. Just watch your fingers when unhooking them - bluefish earned their reputation for snapping. One tip: if you see birds diving, there's a good chance bluefish are pushing bait to the surface below.

Striped bass are a popular catch here in Brick Township, typically weighing 20-40 pounds but sometimes topping 70. These powerful swimmers hang out near structures along the shore, especially in moving waters. Early morning and evening are prime times to find them feeding near the surface. Stripers put up a great fight and taste delicious too. For the best shot at landing one, use live bait like herring or eels - stripers can be picky eaters. An 8-14 foot rod with braided line gives you the sensitivity and strength you need. Spring and fall are excellent seasons as the bass migrate through our waters. One local trick: look for diving birds to spot baitfish schools the stripers are chasing. There's nothing quite like the thrill of battling a big striper on the line.
