Usually people don’t associate New Jersey with the Outdoors. Being an avid outdoorswoman I know that is not the case. I wanted to show my sisters of Babes, Bullets and Broadheads a great time by booking an off-shore shark/tuna trip. I was so excited and I had girls from all over the country drive and fly in for this awesome trip. I picked up the ladies from the airport and made room at my house for them. We got up early in the morning and got on the road. It was about an hour drive to the dock in Pt Pleasant, NJ. Once we arrive we were surprised to find 6 guys on the boat that we had booked. They said they were booked for the same day and they were not willing to give up their trip. I tried to call the Captain, he would not return my calls or my texts. The Captain called the mate and told him his truck broke down and to shut the boat up, no one was going out. I was devastated. I put a deposit down and had 5 ladies who traveled far to go on this trip. We all frantically made phone calls to try to book another trip. Most charters were booked and we did not want to go on a party boat. I called a boat called Jersey Hooker Charters from Pt Pleasant and spoke to Captain Rich. He told me it was his day off, but he would be willing to come in and try to salvage our day. He said we could do some fluke fishing. The girls really wanted to go off-shore fishing, but fluke was better than nothing. Captain Rich called in his friend Captain George, who was already on a boat fishing. They both arrived about 45 minutes later and Captain Rich told us he would take us off-shore for tuna. We could barely contain or excitement, what a rollercoaster ride the day had become. The weather was great and the trip off-shore was beautiful. Once we got off-shore the fishing was slow, but Captain Rich and George tried everything they could to get us on fish. We were supposed to head back in at 4, but the fishing turned on late, so they kept us out there until we caught our limit. Capt George was great to us, he had so much patience and he helped us reel in the fish! I can’t say enough about Captain Rich with Jersey Hooker Charters. Taking his day off to make sure we had a great experience. I will be booking another ladies trip with Jersey Hooker Charters! To book a great trip with them visit www.jerseyhookercharters.com! Tell them the ladies of Babes, Bullets and Broadheads sent you!
