About Your Trip

If you’ve got your sights set on landing a trophy Striped Bass, this is the trip for you! Running seasonally from April 21 through June 15, Captain Jay’s full-day trophy Striper adventure offers prime access to the spring migration—when big bass push through the area in search of bait, making it one of the best times of year to hook into a monster.

Departing at 6:30 a.m. and returning by 3:00 p.m., this trip is
designed for up to 6 anglers aboard Captain Jay’s fully equipped 26’ Shamrock sportfishing boat. With a powerful 370 HP Mercury engine, spot lock system, and top-tier gear, this boat is built to get you on the fish and keep you there.

Captain Jay and First Mate Arthur bring extensive local knowledge and proven tactics to the table, giving you the best shot at hooking a true trophy. Whether you’re trolling, live-lining, or casting, they’ll tailor the approach based on the bite that day—and make sure you’re in the action.

All rods, reels, tackle, and bait are provided, along with catch cleaning at the end of the day. Just bring your food, drinks, and your game face—because when that rod bends with a big Striper, the real fun begins.

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is home to thousands of quality, vetted fishing, hunting, and other outdoor sports guides across the US and beyond. Our mission is to Unlock the Outdoors by making it quick and easy to book the trip of a lifetime every time with our Damn Good Guides.
We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.
Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!
In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.
Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.
After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
