Badfish Fishing Charters

Ocean City, NJ | active | 2 to 6 hours

680 Bay Ave. Somers Point, NJ 08244


Overview

Captain Brian Williams grew up fishing the backwaters of the Great Egg Harbor Estuary and runs private light-tackle trips out of 680 Bay Avenue in Somers Point, minutes over the bridge from Ocean City. Four- to six-hour back-bay charters chase flounder, tautog, bluefish and sheepshead with every rod, reel and bait supplied. He is the only full-time local captain working striped bass on the flats day and night with lures and fly rods, all catch and release. Ocean trips reach wrecks and reefs up to 15 miles out for sea bass and summer sharks, and a two-hour nature cruise turns up dolphins, bald eagles and osprey for non-anglers.

Activity Type: active

Costs: Back-bay trips $500 to $700 for up to 4 anglers; ocean trips $550 to $750; 2-hour nature cruise $300
