Mighty Heron Charters

Mighty Heron Charters Private charter fishing, cruising and tours on the waters around Ocean City, NJ for up to 6 people. Welcome to Mighty Heron Charters! Capt. Let's Go!

Captain Mike is a native of the area and has been fishing these waters for 50 years. We have over 200 5-star reviews on Facebook, Google and Fishingbooker. Voted best charter fishing boat by the readers of the Ocean City Sentinel for 2021. Our vessel is located less than a mile from the base of the Ocean City - Longport Bridge and 10 minutes from Garden State Parkway exits 29N and 30S. Mike has 45

years of experience fishing the area, from the back creeks to the canyons. Fish onboard a twenty-eight foot Steigercraft that accommodates up to six guests. She is powered by twin 250 HP Yamaha 4-stroke (quiet) engines, has the latest Garmin electronics, a private toilet, cabin, and enclosed helm station. This boat is powerful and will get you to the fishing grounds quickly. We simply love to fish and can accommodate anglers of any age, experience, and aptitude. We take great pride in setting up a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, coaching, and helping you every step of the way. Your enjoyment and entertainment are our top priority! For the experienced, results-driven angler, we are ready. We provide high quality bait and tackle and always works hard to put you on the fish. During summer, you can target Flounder and other species in the back bays and Flounder, Seabass, Porgies, and Triggerfish on the ocean structures. On this same ocean trip, you can also troll or snag and drop bait for smaller Tuna, Mackerel, Sharks, and Cobia during the warmer months. On select dates during the summer, you can head offshore for big game such as Sharks, Tuna, Mahi, and Wahoo. Autumn offers Black Seabass and Tog on the ocean structures as well as Striped Bass. As appropriate, you troll, jig, or cast depending on what is working. We don’t try to claim to be the "best" and certainly there are no guarantees. It is, after all, fishing. What we do promise is a professional, organized, experienced, and personable captain and their best efforts to put you on the fish.

Hey Gang,

Deb has said to me for years that we needed to travel without the destination being on an ocean and fishing. Whelp, it has finally happened. Greetings from Southern Arizona. First time I have been more than 100 miles from a body of salt water in about 25 years. I’m a little discombobulated.

A post and an email for our subscribers will go out next weekend. I’ll highlight what is coming up for 2025.

In the mean time……

One thing I love about striper fishing in the ocean is it can humble you quick. Turns out there might be a good bite in South Jersey after all.

So I’m going to recommend some more captains I have known for several years. (Heck, Capt. Sid and Capt. Tyler still come up in my phone as Mates 😂) or worked with, or cooperated with or I just generally respect.

Capt. Sid, Mod Squad Charters out O.C.
He has a website.

Capt. Tyler on Tyin’ Knots. Has a website.

Capt. Scotty Sevins out of O.C. Find him on Facebook.

Capt. Mark on Treemendous sport fishing out of Brigantine. Has a website.

Hey Gang,
We are calling it a year. My knee is a little wonky and I want to rest and rehab it.

My decision is made easier by what I saw today when we ran the boat home. South of Barnegate Light was a desert. As we passed AC I heard some guys talking about catching a few fish. After trolling for 6 hours. And they were over the line. Trolling 4 pounds mojos. 🤨

It looks like another year where South Jersey will be by-passed.

But I could be wrong. There might be a shot of blitzes.

So I recommend looking to our buddies for a striper or tog trip. Both are very good at both.

Capt. Rob at Moover Fishing out of Seaview Harbor. He has a website.

Personally if I wanted fish for the box at this point I would try togging.

Thanks for a great season.

Hey Gang,
Maybe you noticed I photo-bombed my page today. 😎

Had the awesome Nick H. And his crew out today.

Finally, the bite broke wide-open on bunker. Gannets. Whales. Crazy blitzes.

28 fish landed, all on jigs, swim shad, spoons, and top-water.

At one point we had 4 fish hooked up at once. Try being the mate and captain managing that scenario.
“You! Reel slower! This fish over here is closer - we need to net this one first. 🤪

We finally got to a point where were top-water only just to have fun. Just flipping them in the boat to get the hook out quickly without any complications.

Nothing especially large, but had our limit, several “overs” and one bonus.
