Blog Post Fishing Report 07/31/2026-NJ 4-Hour AM Private Fishing Charters Fishing Report for Grandma’s Birthday
On our Friday 07/31/2026 4-Hour AM Private LBI Charter, our clients had a special request for Grandma’s birthday, which we were more than happy to accommodate. The clients aboard were locals from the Waretown area, which included, Mom, Dad, Grandma (on her birthday trip), and their excited 6-year-old daughter out for her very first fishing adventure. For Grandma’s celebration, their special request was to spend some time crabbing in the bay during their private charter.
It was a great day on the water, lots of fish and Blue Claw crabs. On this 4-hour private charter we landed Summer Flounder, Croakers, Sea Robins, Snapper/Bluefish while fishing Barnegat Bay, Barnegat Inlet, and the oceanfront. In 3 hours, we caught 24 fish, then spent the final hour in back Barnegat Bay crabbing. By day's end everyone was pro at flounder, jamming to tunes, and making memories to last a lifetime.
At Fishin Minions, we make the first-fish experience simple, safe, and pure fun, so the parents and guests get to make memories, not manage gear. If you have any special requests, please feel free to contact us and see if can accommodate your requests.
