Fish-n-Chip Sportfishing

                              The Tradition 


     Fish-n-Chip Sportfishing has been fishing our NJ local waters for the last 20 plus years. We have local knowledge from our inshore bays to the deepest canyons off the Jersey coast.  We specialize in offshore canyon fishing and especially jigging and trolling the world famous Bluefin Tuna. Another of our specialties is chunking for trophy Striped Bass. It is not uncommon to catch a couple fish over that trophy 50lb mark every season fishing this style.

  Captain Brian Rines is a USCG certified Captain who has been fishing his local South Jersey waters for more than the last 20 years and has great success putting his clients on fish! He is also a tournament proven Captain with several tourney places. He is very eager and always willing to go the extra mile! Our Mates are very friendly, passionate and knowledgeable about the sport. Its not a job to them, it's a lifestyle. They are there to make sure everyone remains safe while fishing and to help you put a fish of a lifetime on the deck for pictures or the cooler and make sure your time with us is enjoyable!

     Everyone is CPR/FirstAid Certified and very safety conscious.

 

                                 The Fish-n-Chip

  The Boat is a true Bertram. She is 42' in length and has a beam of 14'11". It sports a full tuna tower and double spreader aluminum outriggers. She is a very stable and comfortable platform for the type of fishing we do!

  She has full A/C and heat for those days when its needed!

  She has a full galley (Kitchen) so that you can cook yourself up a meal in the microwave or on the stove top.  It has a full head (Bathroom w/ shower) for you to get cleaned up and/or take a shower if you choose! Two staterooms, one with bunks and one with a V-berth style bed.

All of the fishing tackle is top of the line gear and professionally maintained during the season and off season.  We carry an assortment of Penn International 2-speed reels from 30#to 80# class.  We also carry some of the best, most technologically advanced jigging gear available on the market right now. Rods and reels from JPR custom rods, Jigging master, Black Hole carbon fiber Rods, Shimano and Accurate! We want our clients to have the Best!

The boat features Furuno Navnet3d electronics. A 12kw 72 mile HD radar, 2 GPS/chartplotters, two 1kw and 3kw Furuno Fish finders, and 3 VHF radios.

We have all up to date USCG inspected and approved safety gear, including, a 10 person Winslow liferaft, approved type 1 offshore lifejackets with strobes, 2 EPIRBS, multiple First aid kits, and a ditch bag loaded to the Gills with necessities.

 Located On the Maurice river on the Delaware Bay we are in a prime location for Spring and fall Striped 
Bass and Drum fishing and only a short ride from the Ocean.  We specialize in big fish, from Striped bass
to Marlin, we target the big girls.
  The Boat is a legendary 42' Bertram with a full tuna tower and state of the art Furuno Navnet3d
Electronics.  Come fishing with us and you will be riding on a time piece and in style!
  We only carry the best gear for our customers, and we are one of the only boats in the NorthEast to
have top of the line Jigging gear that can handle Small/Medium giant  (150lbs +++)  Bluefin tuna. 
One of our several specialties is Jigging for tuna, Jigging has taken the fishing world by storm, and we
cater to Jig only groups if that is what the group wants!
There is nothing that compares to being attatched to a 200lb. fish on a rod the size of a fluke pole!!!  
We are extensively using gear by JPR custom rods, Jigging Master, Black Hole carbon fiber rods,
Accurate and Shimano.... You will be hard pressed to find another Boat using such High tech, high
end gear!
Our Spring schedule consists of drum fishing and limited trophy striped bass trips. From June on we
will be starting our Early season tuna fishing. This usually consists of bluefin jigging/trolling and some
runs out the "edge" for what can sometimes be a spectacular yellowfin troll bite! During June and July
we will Mako shark fish at night during our overnight trips, this is the best time of the year for Mako's. 
The bluefin usually hang around until mid to late August. This is when the World famous NE overnight
yellowfin tuna chunk bite begins to develop and usually goes until November and sometimes into
December, this is also a good time for swordfish! From mid/late July until mid/late September is when
the Marlin bite is hot. We have good amounts of White Marlin, and Blue Marlin up to and over 1,000 lbs
is not out of the question!
We have the range to fish most of the canyons off our coast. From the Toms canyon south to the
Norfolk, we will fish where ever the fish are!
We are a fun loving group of guys full of energy and just love to fish, if your looking to have a fun filled
trip on the water and possibly catch the fish of a lifetime, we are your guys! Give us a ring or send us
an email as to what you might have in mind, as we can accommodate almost any request. We do it all,
from all inclusive trips, to tailor-made trips just for your needs.
We are looking forward to meeting yall' and having a good time fishing!
Thank you,
The crew of the Fish-n-Chip... "Making dreams come true one fish at a time"
