Below is information is for Point Pleasant Beach.

Big Jamaica has Offshore trips for Seabass... You can catch Cod and Porgies as well. I saw their fishing reports no ling fish reported recently.

Jamaica II they have some trips running for Seabass/Ling/Cod trips, same as Big Jamaica no ling fish was reported.

Paramount too has trips running from 06:30 AM to 05:00 PM. Same as Big Jamaica no ling fish was reported.

Thanks for all the replies. He’s been on the ocean a couple of times on vacation, not here, and not in winter. The offshore seabass trips, while one of my favorites, would likely be far too much for him. If we go Sunday, it would likely be blackfish- thanks for the help!

Hi Tuna,

I’m in Bergen County too. Feel feee to PM me.

I was out last Friday on that NS boat in Brielle. Only 10 guys felt like our own private charter. Heated handrails on this boat are great! I had just nailed 6-7 big ling on our last drop and then the Capt. blew three whistles...also had some big sea bass. Not my best trip but went home with dinner.

Tog fishing can real tough for an inexperienced 11yo in this cold weather. I would take him bottom fishing on a boat with heated hand rails.

Bill

Whatever you fish for make sure you give the kid seasick pills. Nothing will ruin his first trip more than being sick.

Thank you everyone for all replies. I’d love to spend a day bottom fishing but I’m not sure it would be good for my son but in the cold. I think we may pass on the salt, pick it up in the spring. Likely will go pike hunting on the Passaic, could use some pointers here as well! We haven’t tried for pike yet, will try to look for shore access near bridges. Thanks again

You're probably correct in your thinking...for pike and other fresh water denizens you might want to go to the fresh water forum for ideas...just sayin'...at any rate, good luck on your/son's outing---soon or next spring...keep us posted, it's always great to get the younger set interested in the sport.
