Wildwood Fishing Charters

Wildwood and the Wildwoods (including North Wildwood and Wildwood Crest) offer excellent fishing opportunities on the southern Jersey Shore. The extensive back bay system produces great flounder and weakfish, while the nearshore waters hold fluke and sea bass. Offshore trips can reach the canyons for tuna. After fishing, enjoy the famous Wildwood boardwalk and beaches.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do Wildwood fishing charters depart from?

Most Wildwood charters depart from marinas in Wildwood, North Wildwood, or Rio Grande. The Hereford Inlet area is popular for back bay trips. Offshore boats may also depart from nearby Cape May.

What is Grassy Sound fishing?

Grassy Sound is the shallow bay system behind North Wildwood. It's excellent for flounder, weakfish, and striped bass. The grassy flats and channels create perfect habitat for these species.

Can I combine Wildwood fishing with boardwalk activities?

Yes! Many anglers book morning half-day trips and spend afternoons on the famous Wildwood boardwalk with its amusement piers, water parks, and restaurants. The beaches are free, unlike many other Shore towns.
