These type trips might be of interest to those that want to do some canyon overnight jigging where there is no time spent trolling. We also will not supply any dead bait but if you would like to catch live squid and use them for swords or tuna that will be your decision.
There are not many top end deluxe charter boats that can or will offer a deal like this for jigging only customers. It is one thing to fish a smaller center console in the day much closer to shore for tuna such as Bluefins but spending a night in the canyons far offshore is totally different and fishing on a much larger comfortable boat is really the best choice when overnight canyon fishing especially if like the amenities a nice cabin with super large clean bunks and deluxe sofas to get a little sleep during the middle of the night. We also offer all night Satellite TV with 140 channels to watch all sporting events such as NFL games or the World Series in the fall or warm up a hot meal if that is what you like to eat on longer fishing trips. It is all there for you plus one of the best riding and fastest big charter boats on the East Coast. Most of the older larger sport fishing boats just do not have the speed to be able to offer trips like these as many take up 3-5 hours just to reach a canyon and on a normal overnight trip and some stop far inshore of the canyons and troll their way out to save fuel. We will have you to any local canyon in about 2 hours in decent sea conditions.
It is a very viable option to fishing a crowded head boat and in reality probably does not cost all that much more to be able to fish on our boat on these shorter reduced rates jigging and popping overnight canyon trips.
The following information is from another site and we are offering a lower special price to those dedicated jigging and popping anglers that I know frequent this board. Much of the information is probably not of interest to those on this board but it is worth mentioning since I would bet very few anglers ever inquire about safety equipment when chartering a boat and believe me many boats only offer the bare minimum and some would not even pass a Coast Guard inspection if stopped and checked. Maybe not as quite as important when daytime Bluefin fishing but very important when sitting out in a canyon 70-80 plus miles from port at night.
NEW for the 2009 18 & 20 hr. Reduced Price Shorter Canyon Overnight Chunk, Jig & Popping Trips Sept 4th-Oct 31 with No Trolling

Depart Cape May, NJ approximately 4-5 pm and return 10-11 am the next morning.

There will be no trolling on these shorter discounted trips. We will fish for swords at night along with jigging or chunking tuna.

We can offer these shorter canyon overnight trips due to the speed of the 55 HOOKED UP II that can easily reach any canyon within 85 miles of Cape May, NJ in 2-3 hours running time in decent sea conditions. Our customers get more actual CANYON FISHING TIME over many charter boats that just cannot cruise anywhere near as fast as the HOOKED UP II. If you like shorter boat rides to the canyons we offer one of the fastest and newest deluxe charter boats anywhere on the East Coast.
We carry from 800-1000 lbs of chipped ice on every canyon trip so your catch stays as fresh as possible. Not many charter boats we know carry anywhere near this much ice on their normal canyon trips.
We also have some of the very best quality safety gear that includes 3 ERIB’s plus an 8 man commercial grade life raft that is approved for the open seas which is far beyond what is required by the US Coast Guard. We also have 3 VHF radios and carry a survival ditch bag that contains all the basics needed to maintain while awaiting rescue. This includes numerous commercial grade flares that are beyond what is required for charter boats. If safety and comfort is important then we offer one of the finest charter boats that you will ever fish on.

We have two brand new Caterpillar Diesel engines installed in June of 2009 for your offshore safety. It costs more to run a offshore trip in fuel with twin diesels but the added speed and safety is well worth the extra price as we will not have to wait 6-8 hours for Sea Tow in come out and get us if one engine fails and this does happen. It is a comforting thought to have two diesel engines when 70-90 miles Offshore.
Fish cleaning is provided at South Jersey Marina for our customers at a nominal charge

2% Discount for Cash

The normal tip for the crew is 20 % of the cost of the trip

All trips are for 6 anglers maximum and there will be no exceptions

Please Read: We realize that there are many boats to choose from when picking a canyon overnight trip. Our policy has always been to advise our customers if we feel the possibility of putting a good Yellowfin-Longfin catch together is nonexistent and will cancel the trip and refund all deposits if rescheduling is not possible. We cancelled 18 overnight canyon trips last fall due to lack of tuna and for the first time in 20 years never ran one overnight trip. We will continue this policy if the Yellowfins do not show up this season at night. We give our charter customers the option to do the trip and fish for other species if they so desire but we always advise them before hand on the realistic chances of catching tuna prior to departure. It's just the way we chose to do business.
