CNJFO Fishing Charter Social
September 27, 2026
Point Princess- Point Pleasant, NJ
Ahoy there Patriots! As you’re all likely aware, some of us enjoy things other than firearms. I know, I know…take a moment. It’s OK to admit this. I’m among you, and I also enjoy fishing; therefore, I’m excited to announce that we are now booking the 2026 CNJFO Saltwater Fishing Social!
We are scheduled to board the Point Princess at 7:00 am (SHARP!!) from the docks of Pt. Pleasant, NJ, for a seven (7) hour tour off the coast for sea bass as our primary target species; however, we will also try for Porgy, Bonito, Blues, Leek, and other seasonal visitors depending on conditions. The trip includes all required gear, bait, and mates for support; however, you are welcome to bring your gear. Recommended gear is as follows:7' medium -heavy inshore spinning or conventional rod paired with a 4000 to 6000 size spinning reel or 300 to 400 class bait caster reels to help lift fish effectively. Traditional bait rigs for clams with 4-to-8-ounce sinkers and double to triple hooks will work well. Many anglers also do well with casting jigs with teasers.
This is a family trip, so we encourage you to bring the kids, wives, husbands, and other family members and friends.
The Point Princess, a 75' custom Lydia yacht, is our host for the day. The boat will be chartered by CNJFO, and we will be the only people aboard. Please pack a lunch and snacks, as no food or drinks will be available. You may bring your own beer (canned)and wine; no hard alcohol is permitted on board. There are separate men's and women's bathrooms on the boat, and there is free parking available directly behind the boat.
Tickets will be limited to 35 people at $175 per person. This is a fundraising event, so the ticket price covers the cost of the charter, tip for the mates, and a little extra to help fund our mission to educate our community about firearms safety, liberty, and lifestyle. Raffles will take place while we’re at sea.
It’s VERY important to emphasize that the boat will shove off at 7:30 am sharp – the captain and crew have a job to do, some cruises follow ours, and keeping on schedule is very important. Please plan to arrive at the dock to load at least 30 minutes before our departure time. We will return to port at 2:30 pm.
Please note that all boarding pass sales are NON-REFUNDABLE but transferable. Due to the outlay required to cover the costs of this adventure, we must secure all 35 seats. You may notify us at any time before departure of a change of passenger information. If your ticket is not resold or transferred, it will not be refunded. You may also donate the ticket to another party on our waiting list.
PLEASE NOTE: If a minimum # of seats is not secured 30 days before the event, CNJFO reserves the right to cancel the trip and issue a full refund to registrants. The ship will sail rain or shine as long as the waters are safe. Refunds will only be issued if the trip is canceled by the captain or CNJFO.
