Captain Dave offers near-shore deep sea fishing trips for the professional to the novice fisherman aboard his beautiful 29ft Regulator, Compass Rose,  which is the perfect boat for inshore trips.  The Compass Rose is equipped with all of the latest marine electronics and has powerful twin 250 horsepower 4-stroke Yamaha engines.  The boat also has a full private head, Sirius Satellite Radio and built in forward and rear seating which can accommodate up to six passengers.  Click here for a video of this awesome fishing machine.  Crews who charter with Captain Dave will reach the fishing grounds fast, safe, and in style .  During the spring season as the water temperature begins to rise into the low 50's, stripers become the game fish of choice.  It is not unusual for these fish to reach over 30lbs and we target these fish by live lining eels, chumming clams, trolling or casting lures along the sod banks.  As the water temperature rises into the 60's and 70's, we focus our fishing on the artificial reef formations off the New Jersey coast.  New Jersey has a wonderful artificial reef program where army tanks, ships, subway cars, tires filled with concrete and concrete balls are sunk to the ocean floor in designated areas to form artificial reefs.  These reefs form a habitat for hundreds of types of marine organisms which make for amazing fishing.  When fishing these reefs, blackfish, summer flounder, and sea bass are the targeted species.
