Elite 24-Hour Deep Sea Fishing Trip in NJ

24-Hour Deep Sea Fishing Adventure in NJ

Ready for the offshore fishing trip of a lifetime? Strap in for a full 24 hours of non-stop action as we head out to the canyons off the New Jersey coast. This ain't your average day trip – we're talking serious deep-sea fishing where the big boys play. If you've got the stamina and the passion for landing monster fish, this is your chance to tangle with some of the ocean's most prized catches.

Trip Overview

We kick off at noon, so come well-rested and ready to rumble. As soon as we clear the inlet, it's full throttle to the fishing grounds. The run out is your chance to get your sea legs, rig up, and maybe catch some shut-eye – trust me, you'll want to be fresh for when things heat up after dark. We're not messing around with small fry here; we're after the heavyweight champs of the sea. Tuna and swordfish are the name of the game, and night fishing is where it's at for these beasts. Pack some snacks and drinks, 'cause we don't provide meals on this marathon fishing session. With a max of 5 anglers, you'll have plenty of elbow room to battle it out with whatever decides to take your bait.

Chunking in the Canyons

Once we hit the canyons, it's time to get down to business. We'll be using a technique called chunking – basically chumming with cut bait to draw in the big predators. It's a waiting game, but when it pays off, hold onto your hats! You'll be dropping lines anywhere from 100 to 1000 feet deep, depending on where the fish are holding. We use heavy-duty gear – think 80 to 130-pound test on stout rods that can handle the pressure. When a tuna or swordfish hits, it's all hands on deck. These fights can last hours, so be ready for a true test of grit and determination. And let me tell you, there's nothing quite like seeing a massive tuna or the bill of a swordfish break the surface after a long battle in the dark.

Why Anglers Love the Overnighter

Ask any seasoned offshore angler, and they'll tell you – the night bite is where the magic happens. There's something special about being out on the open ocean under a canopy of stars, waiting for that rod to go screaming. The anticipation builds with every passing hour, and when it finally happens, it's pure adrenaline. You'll be fishing waters that day-trippers can only dream of reaching, giving you a shot at fish of truly epic proportions. It's not uncommon for anglers to land tuna well over 100 pounds, and swordfish? They can tip the scales at several hundred pounds. This trip separates the weekend warriors from the die-hard fishermen – are you up for the challenge?

Species You'll Want to Hook

Yellow Sea Chub: Don't let the name fool you – these fish are no pushovers. While they're not the main target, hooking into a school of sea chubs can provide some fast-paced action when the tuna aren't biting. They're scrappy fighters that'll test your light tackle skills and make for some tasty eating if you decide to keep a few.

Swordfish: The gladiators of the deep, swordfish are the stuff of fishing legends. These solitary predators can grow to enormous sizes, with some specimens exceeding 1000 pounds. They're known for their acrobatic jumps and long, drawn-out battles that can last several hours. Swordfish tend to feed in deeper waters during the day and come up closer to the surface at night, which is why our 24-hour trip gives you the best shot at landing one of these bucket-list fish.

Bluefin Tuna: The heavyweight champion of the tuna world, bluefin are the ultimate prize for many offshore anglers. These torpedo-shaped powerhouses are built for speed and endurance, capable of long runs that'll have your drag screaming and your arms burning. They can range anywhere from 100 to over 1000 pounds, and hooking into one is an experience you'll never forget. Bluefin are typically more active in the cooler months, but can be caught year-round in the right conditions.

Albacore Tuna: Often called "longfin" tuna, albacore are the smallest of the tuna species we target, but what they lack in size they make up for in numbers and fighting spirit. These fish often travel in large schools, so when you find them, the action can be non-stop. Albacore are known for their long initial runs and dogged fights, making them a blast on lighter tackle. They're also considered by many to be the best-eating of all the tunas, so be sure to save room in the cooler!
