I would also go with Capt. Ron in the Spring. He usually gets the ball rolling in the Raritan. When the fish are up north he's the go to boat. He's not afraid to burn fuel to put a catch together. In the fall the Gamblers is the way to go when the fish are in the ocean between Sandy Hook and Barnigate Inlet. Capt. Bob and Capt. Mike get the job done with limited loads on a fast boat. I generally only fish them in the fall as Spring Bass can be frustrating when they are on Bunker pods. All the sponsor boats on here are good if distance is a concern.
I would use the boats rental tackle if you don't have a 15-30 lb spinning setup. I know the Gambler has rental spinning rods. They come with a jig or rig . If your clamming or livelining Bunker 30lb conventional setups will do fine as you don't have to cast. Hold off on loading up on lures until you see what's working. If you have some Ava 27-47-67s from Blue fishing bring them. Ava's catch everything !!!
