Friday Suggestion??????

[andrewotb]

May travel from S.I. to N.J. to fish FRIDAY.
Looking for seabass(cod??), not willing to spend more than 100.00 for a fare.
Any boats fit that bill. Please no smart remarks :mad: I know I'm asking for alot.
Got friends on a limited budget.
Thanks,
Andrew

Ocean explorer from belmar

Id go on Ocean Explorer or the Angler

[NJ Dave]

Only prob i see would be full party boat with 50+ degree temps expected. May be worth
a few extra bucks to go on an open charter. 125+tip.

He is fishing off shore.. for cod, ling, pollok, tog, etc..

The Jamaica 2 http://www.jamaicaii.com/ out of Brielle hits offshore wrecks for under $100...think its like $90 plus tip for the mates. They are hitting ling, cod, cbass, porgy, tog while I think the OE is primarily targeting tog. Good chance to put a mixed bag of fish together on a longer range trip. Have fun!

Another option is the Paramount which does the same type of fishing, but a bit more inshore. think the fare runs at $65 www.wreckmasters.com

the OE is fishing off shore.. Been lots of cod!

I agree with Harpoon. Those are my go to boats for Mid-Range bottom fishing. Jamaica 2 is $75. Make sure you tip the mates well. They work their tails off.

Gambler is also going out on Friday.

Thank to all replys.
Friends may go for a few more bucks and head east for cod/seabass.
Again thanks to all for GREAT ideas.
