Blog post-NJ 5-Hour Private Fishing Charter 06/30/2026
Another great day on the water, with lots of surprise species caught. On our private fishing charter, we caught Summer Flounder, Black Sea Bass, Snapper Bluefish, and our surprises were numerous sharks up to 4 feet long, including (3) Atlantic Sharpnose Shark, a Finetooth Shark and a Smoothhound Shark.
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.
