Ready to tangle with some hard-fighting stripers? Captain Jordi's got you covered on this 6-hour morning charter out of Point Pleasant. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just getting your feet wet, you're in for a treat as we hunt down some of the Jersey Shore's most prized gamefish. With top-notch gear, a comfortable boat, and years of local know-how, we'll put you right where the bass are biting. Let's hit the water and make some memories!
We'll kick things off bright and early, meeting at the dock in Point Pleasant as the sun's just starting to peek over the horizon. After a quick rundown of the day's game plan, we'll load up and head out. Captain Jordi's got his finger on the pulse of these waters, so we'll bee-line it straight to where the stripers have been hanging out. Could be along the beaches, near some structure, or out in the open water – wherever they're biting, that's where we'll be.
This isn't some cattle boat operation – with a max of 6 guests, you'll get plenty of elbow room and one-on-one attention from the captain. Whether you need help setting up your rig, some pointers on your casting technique, or just want to chat about the local fishing scene, Jordi's your go-to guy. And don't worry if you're new to this – he's got a knack for making even first-timers feel like old pros by the end of the trip.
When it comes to striper fishing, we've got a few tricks up our sleeve. Depending on the conditions and where the fish are holding, we might be chunking with fresh bunker, working some bucktails along the bottom, or even trolling with umbrella rigs if the bite's tough. Captain Jordi's always got a game plan, but he's quick to switch things up if the fish aren't cooperating.
As for gear, you don't need to bring a thing – we've got you covered with top-of-the-line rods, reels, and tackle. We're talking smooth-casting setups that'll have you flinging lures like a pro in no time. And of course, all the necessary safety gear is on board, so you can focus on the fishing while we take care of the rest.
Striped Bass: These are the stars of the show, and for good reason. Jersey stripers are known for their size and fight, with fish in the 20-40 pound range not uncommon. They've got a reputation for being clever and hard to fool, which makes landing one all the sweeter. Spring and fall are prime time for these bad boys, but we can find them year-round if you know where to look (and Captain Jordi does).
Stripers love to hang around structure – jetties, bridges, and submerged wrecks are all prime real estate. They're ambush predators, so we'll often target areas where bait gets pushed through by currents. When a big cow striper hits your line, hold on tight – these fish can peel off a hundred yards of line in seconds flat. It's a rush that keeps anglers coming back year after year.
While stripers are our main target, don't be surprised if we run into some other local favorites. Bluefish often mix in with the stripers, providing some toothy action. In the warmer months, we might even stumble upon some weakfish or fluke. It's all part of the adventure on these Jersey waters.
There's something special about striper fishing off Point Pleasant that keeps folks coming back for more. Maybe it's the thrill of battling a big bass in the surf, or the peaceful morning views as we cruise along the coastline. Could be the satisfaction of learning new techniques from a seasoned pro like Captain Jordi, or just the chance to disconnect from the daily grind and focus on the simple pleasure of fishing.
Whatever it is that draws you in, one thing's for sure – once you've experienced the quality of fishing and guiding that Jordi Sport Fishing offers, you'll be itching to book your next trip before you even get back to the dock.

Striped bass are a real thrill to target here in Point Pleasant. These hard-fighting fish typically range from 20-40 pounds but can get up to 70 pounds. You'll find them near structures like sandbars and drop-offs, usually within a few hundred yards of shore. They love moving water and cooler temps. Spring and fall are prime seasons as the bass migrate along the coast. They put up an impressive fight and make excellent table fare with their sweet, flaky meat. To improve your odds, try fishing early morning or evening when stripers feed near the surface. Live bait like bunker or eels works great. If you're using lures, go with something that mimics their natural prey. One local tip - keep an eye out for birds diving on bait schools. That's often a good sign there are hungry stripers below. With some patience and the right approach, you've got a good shot at hooking into one of these prized gamefish.
