Epic 12-Hour Offshore Adventure in AC
Hey there, angler! Ready for the fishing trip of a lifetime? Captain Mark Schrenk and the crew at Jessie James Charters have got you covered with our 12-hour offshore extravaganza. We're talking about heading way out into the blue waters of the Atlantic, where the big boys play. Whether you're a seasoned pro or it's your first time chasing pelagics, we'll make sure you're in for a day you won't forget.
What to Expect on the Water
Picture this: You're aboard our top-notch fishing vessel, the salt spray in your face as we cruise out of Atlantic City. The skyline fades, and it's just you, the crew, and the endless ocean. We're not messing around with the small fry here - we're after the heavyweight champs of the sea. Tuna, shark, marlin, mahi-mahi - these are the targets that'll get your heart racing. Our expert crew knows these waters like the back of their hands, so you're in good hands whether you're a first-timer or a seasoned angler.
Gearing Up for the Big Leagues
On this trip, we're pulling out all the stops. We use heavy-duty offshore gear that's up to the task of wrestling with the ocean's giants. You'll be trolling with spreader bars, daisy chains, and big game lures that are irresistible to the predators we're after. Don't worry if you're new to this - our crew will show you the ropes, from setting the drag to the proper technique for fighting a monster fish. And when that reel starts screaming? That's when the real fun begins!
Top Catches This Season
Let me tell you, the action has been hot lately. We've been crushing it with yellowfin tuna in the 50-80 pound range, and even some bigger bluefin showing up. Just last week, we had a client land a white marlin that put on an aerial show like you wouldn't believe. The mahi have been thick too, lighting up the water with their electric colors. Every trip is different, but that's the beauty of offshore fishing - you never know what's gonna grab your line next.
Species You'll Want to Hook
Yellowfin Tuna: These speedsters are the bread and butter of our offshore trips. They're here from late spring through fall, and they fight like crazy. Expect long, powerful runs that'll test your stamina. When you see that golden flash beneath the boat, get ready for some sore arms and a cooler full of sushi-grade meat.
White Marlin: The acrobats of the sea, white marlin are the prize many anglers dream of. They're most common in the late summer and early fall. Watching a white marlin dance across the surface, its bill slashing at the air, is a sight you'll never forget. They're strictly catch and release, but the photos and memories last a lifetime.
Bluefin Tuna: The heavyweight champion of the Atlantic, bluefin are the ultimate challenge. These monsters can top 1,000 pounds, though we usually see them in the 100-300 pound range. They're here in the spring and fall, and when one hits, you better hold on tight. The fight can last hours, but landing one of these giants is the accomplishment of a lifetime.
Why Anglers Keep Coming Back
Look, I've been running charters for years, and there's a reason folks keep booking with Jessie James Charters. It's not just about the fish - it's about the experience. The excitement of heading out into the deep blue, the camaraderie on board, the thrill of the hunt. And when that fish of a lifetime finally hits? There's nothing like it. Plus, we take care of our people. New clients even get a free Jessie James Charters t-shirt - wear it proud, you've earned it!
The Nitty Gritty
Alright, let's talk details. This is a 12-hour trip, so come prepared for a full day on the water. We can take up to 6 anglers, making it perfect for a group of buddies or the family. We don't provide meals, so pack a cooler with plenty of grub and drinks - trust me, you'll work up an appetite out there. And hey, if you're happy with the service (and I know you will be), our first mate works hard and appreciates the customary 20% tip.
Time to Book Your Spot
So what do you say? Ready to join the ranks of anglers who've battled the beasts of the Atlantic? This isn't your average fishing trip - it's a chance to test your skills against some of the most sought-after game fish in the ocean. Whether you're looking to check that bucket list species off your list or just want to experience the thrill of offshore fishing, we've got you covered. Spots fill up fast, especially during peak season, so don't wait. Give us a call, book your trip, and get ready for a day of fishing you'll be talking about for years to come. See you on the water!

Bluefin Tuna
Bluefin tuna are the heavyweight champs of the Atlantic. These massive fish can top 1,000 pounds, though 200-500 pounders are more common here. We find them anywhere from inshore to way offshore, often near temperature breaks or bait schools. They're here spring through fall, with summer being prime time. Bluefin are prized for their fatty, flavorful meat - it's some of the best eating in the ocean. Catching one is a real workout - they fight like freight trains and can strip hundreds of yards of line in seconds. We'll usually troll spreader bars or big plugs, or chunk with butterfish if we mark them. Here's a pro tip: when a bluefin hits, don't set the hook. Just start reeling and hang on tight. And remember, regulations are strict on these guys, so we always check the latest rules before targeting them.
White Marlin
White marlin are the speedsters of the deep, and catching one is a real thrill. These sleek billfish average 60-80 pounds and put on quite a show, leaping and tail-walking across the surface. We typically find them in blue water 50+ miles offshore, often near temperature breaks or floating sargassum. Late summer into fall is prime time as they migrate through. Trolling with rigged ballyhoo or artificial lures is the go-to method. When a white marlin shows up in the spread, it's all hands on deck - they're known for their lightning-fast strikes and acrobatic fights. Circle hooks are a must for conservation. My tip: keep your drag light at first to let them eat, then slowly increase pressure as the fight goes on. It's a dance with one of the ocean's most elegant predators.
Yellowfin Tuna
Yellowfin tuna are a real treat to catch off Atlantic City. These streamlined powerhouses typically run 60-100 pounds, though the big ones can top 400. We find them in the warmer offshore waters from spring through fall, often near temperature breaks or floating debris. Yellowfin put up an amazing fight - screaming runs and deep dives that'll test your arms and gear. Their meat is prized for sushi and grilling too. To up your odds, we'll often chum with cut bait to bring them to the surface, then cast poppers or stick baits. When they're deeper, trolling skirted lures or jigging can be deadly. Just be ready for explosive strikes and have your drag set right - these guys don't give up easy.
