Fisherman's Cove is one of the few dog friendly beaches in New Jersey. Dogs are permitted to be off-leashed before 10AM and after 4PM. All the dogs had a great time playing with each other. The beach was clean and there are two portapotties on site, which were also very clean. There aren't too many restaurants nearby like in Point Pleasant or Asbury Park, so you might want to eat beforehand or bring food with you to the beach.

First time for my family to hit this nook of the Jersey Shore and we dug it.  The beach/ocean is…read morejust a stone's throw away (there was a junior surfboarding competition we got to catch a bit of), the inlet had a slew of people fishing (nothing biting though) and the 'cove' with a small (unprotected) sand/beach-area (dog-friendly!) and some trails and whatnot (not dog-friendly!). Overlooking that almost no one was wearing a mask (in any of the surrounding areas that we ventured to and from) the cove itself was absolutely stunning and peaceful during the sunset.  For a few moments you could zen out and not have to worry about all the rotten things happening throughout the world.

The Gambler is a roomy, comfortable boat with a lovely crew who help with everything from baiting…read morehooks to fixing rod issues, which makes the whole trip feel really easy and welcoming. The crew clearly explains all the instructions before you start, and the whistle signals along the way make it simple to know exactly when to stop and start fishing. Even though we didn't catch anything this time, we still had a wonderful trip with Captain Bob and the crew, who are great with beginners and make sure everyone feels taken care of. It's a very beginner‑friendly boat, especially for families, and there are even fun photo‑op spots right next door to round out the experience.

Last few times out on other outfits, we didn't catch any Keeper fluke to take home, that was disappointing. But the Gambler put us Keepers, somehow I don't think that was a "fluke" (excuse the pun). Crew was helpful and professional, and the boat was clean. I recommend them if you are looking to do some fishing on a Party Boat along the Jersey Shore.

Great time on the Norma K III. Cabin is spacious, clean and has ample seating. There is a small…read moreeating area with some snacking options. Our mate even made hotdogs for passengers. The day we went did not have a massive number of people onboard. The charters I've done at the Shore are usually crammed with people. It was refreshing to have some space to move around on the Norma K III. Hardworking Captain Tom (think that was his name) who moves around a lot to get you as many chances as possible to get a catch. I'm a newbie to fishing and caught my biggest fish (blue fish) ever in the Norma K III. Our mate, Xavier was affable, helpful, informative and a great addition to the crew. I would definitely recommend the Norma K III and we plan on going out again with them. I actually want to give them 5 stars but will hold off for at least 1 more outing. If my next one is as enjoyable as today then they will definitely update to 5 Star.

When we got there early in the morning after driving 2 hours, it was almost packed. I would say it was at least at 90%. The crew was nice. However, the experience was not the same because I was expecting to have some space between me and the guy next to me. Instead everyone was about a foot apart. Not comfortable when you your trying to cast a 5 foot fishing pole. They are actively lying to your face when you go onto their website. They clearly state 50% capacity .

The captain would often readjust the location so that we have a better and greater chance catching fishes. We caught a lot on that day. You don't get the same experience from a party boat fishing. We had a blast!!! Check out my photos, especially a video of a baby shark. BTW, they will process your fishes per your instruction so you take home what you want and ready to cook.
