Our Crew

Captain Anthony Solmo

Captain Anthony  has spent his entire life in South Florida. He grew up fishing both the East and West coasts, he was able to learn and master the best techniques from anyone who was willing to teach him.

Shortly after high school, Captain Anthony moved to Key West to pursue his dream of guiding. He has been chartering people from all over the world ever since. One of his greatest joys is seeing how excited his customers get when they pull their fish to the boat. He has worked his way to being one of the top guides in the Keys and is always ready to put you on a fish of a lifetime.

Ryan Persinger, First Mate

Ryan has has been fishing his whole life, splitting his time between the legendary fisheries of the Jersey Shore and the vibrant blue water of Key West. He developed a passion for chasing offshore pelagics, honing his skills targeting sailfish, yellowfin and blackfin tuna, mahi-mahi, wahoo, and a long list of other hard-charging species. 

While Ryan is at home running the edge for big-game fish, he’s equally skilled on the inshore grounds, reefs, and wrecks. He has spent years perfecting techniques for snapper, grouper, flounder, sea bass, and other structure-oriented species, mastering everything from precision bottom fishing to stealthy shallow-water approaches.

Summer and Fall at the Jersey Shore 

Half Day
6 Hours
$800

Enjoy a relaxed and family-friendly 4-hour fishing trip exploring the protected back bays and channels of Atlantic City. These shallow, calm waters are prime habitat for summer flounder—better known locally as fluke—one of the Jersey Shore’s most popular and delicious game fish. We’ll drift along tidal flats, drop-offs, and channel edges where fluke ambush bait, giving anglers plenty of chances for steady action.

This trip is perfect for beginners, families, and anyone looking for an easygoing day on the water with great chances at keeper-size fish. All bait, tackle, and licenses are included. Just step aboard and enjoy a classic Jersey Shore fluke-fishing experience in the scenic waters behind Atlantic City.

3/4 Day
6 Hours
$1,000

This 6-hour trip gives you the flexibility to fish both the sheltered back bays and the productive nearshore reefs and wrecks just off Atlantic City. We’ll start by working tidal channels and flats for fluke, then make our way out the inlet to target sea bass, larger fluke, and other structure-loving species on the reefs.

During the warm summer months, this trip can even offer a shot at bonus pelagics—like mahi-mahi—that sometimes gather around nearshore pots and buoys. With extra time to explore multiple zones, you’ll enjoy steady action, varied fishing styles, and the chance to bring home a great variety of fillets.

Perfect for anglers who want more adventure without committing to a full day, this charter includes all bait, tackle, and licenses. Climb aboard and experience a classic Jersey Shore fishing trip with expanded opportunities and plenty of excitement.

Full Day / Extended Day
8 Hours - $1,200
10 Hours - $1,400

Our Full Day (8-hour) and Extended Day (10-hour) charters are built for anglers who want to venture farther offshore and tap into some of the most exciting fishing the Jersey Shore offers. With the extra range and time, we can fish deeper nearshore wrecks, explore midshore structure, and run to productive offshore temperature breaks where pelagics begin to roam.

You’ll target fluke and sea bass on powerful offshore wrecks, then push outward for shots at summer pelagics like mahi-mahi, false albacore, bonito, and even the occasional school-sized tuna when conditions line up. The extended day allows us to cover more ground, switch techniques, and stay mobile—putting you in the best position when bait, birds, or temperature edges come alive.

If you’re looking for a serious day of fishing beyond the typical inshore grounds, this trip delivers high adventure, diverse species, and the potential for memorable offshore action. All bait, tackle, and licenses are included—just bring your energy and get ready for an unforgettable day on the water.
