The Catterman Adventures, LLC invites you on a thrilling Shark-catching adventure in New Jersey &amp; Delaware! Being both skilled and friendly, your guide Kevin 'Catterman' will make sure that you and your crew have the best time out on the beach experiencing land-based fishing like never before. To say this takes surf fishing to a whole new level is an understatement. Whether you're an experienced angler, or a family with kids that have always wanted to be next to a shark or a giant stingray, this is the experience for you. Book a summer trip today and enjoy an exciting evening/night fishing right from the beach!&nbsp;Guide Kevin 'Catterman' spent years chasing down the elusive apex predators that visit our eastern shore board every summer and realized that this type of fishing has a whole new learning curve to it. While exciting and thrilling, it also takes a special type of guide to not only show you how to catch them but also how to care for them during the release process.&nbsp;These fishing trips usually start in the evenings after 6PM EST and run anywhere till midnight or even 7AM. When you book with us we put out several different rods and baits to ensure that our night is filled with fish catching fun. All sharks, stingrays, and other fish caught during the charter will be primarily handled by the Guide himself and his first mates. Some of the species you will encounter include&nbsp;Sandbar (Brown), Sand tigers, Dusky, Spinner, &amp; Blacktip sharks, as well as Smoothhound dogfish (Some species are federally protected and must be caught &amp; released as quickly as possible). We also have the chance of hooking into Bull &amp; Atlantic sharpnose sharks, as well as skates and all kinds of stingrays.&nbsp;All fishing gear &amp; bait will be provided, we just recommend wearing long sleeve shirts, beach pants, and beach shoes on your trip (and don't forget the bug repellent). Amenities include ice cold water, a Mosquito-proof Enclosure, comfortable beach chairs, and High-Quality images. Video add-ons available (ask me!)&nbsp;All active anglers (16+ and older) will be required to have a Tidal Fishing License ($10-20 - Delaware trips) or a Saltwater registry (Free - New Jersey)&nbsp;Make sure to BOOK with us today before dates fill up!

The cold-front is subsiding, and hereby the fishing is starting to peak again. We deployed several different baits, and around 11:30PM in the evening... one of our spinning outfits doubled on over. Before we knew it, we were onto something very large and charge!

After a almost 30-minute tussle with the fish, Roland, Jim, and JR won their fight with a VERY large roughtail stingray. An amazing catch, which was shortly followed by a 3.5-4ft shark that JR made short work of on the conventional setup.

Awesome group of guys, awesome trip!

A night full of fishing battles!

Our team was faced with 20-30mph guests, but that didn't stop us! Megan & Phil were understanding of the circumstances, and yet we still succeeded.

The moment baits were dropped we encountered several sharks, ranging in all sizes. To top it off, Megan hooked a large and in charge shark at the end of the evening which had been wrapped around in netting. We quickly removed the netting and helped her swim off strong making sure the entire time she was submerged in water.

Awesome trip at the beginning of the season!

Another amazing trip in the books with Megan & Phil!

Delaware Bay Fishing Report

Man,  to say that we made the Bush family's night out is an understatement. Slammed a ton of fish, smiled and laughed, and hammered an absolutely GIGANTIC Delaware roughtail stingray. The tail must've measured almost 8 feet!

...ELEVATED RISK OF WILDFIRE SPREAD THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY THIS
EVENING...
A combination of low relative humidity, southwest winds, and dry
fine fuels will lead to an elevated risk for fire spread with any
potential fire starts this afternoon across New Jersey, southeast
Pennsylvania, Delaware, and eastern Maryland. Minimum relative
humidity values this afternoon will range from 15 to 20 percent
across the region. The limiting factor will be that winds will
range from 10 to 15 mph with an occasional gust to 20 mph.
Residents are urged to exercise caution if handling any potential
ignition source, including machinery, cigarettes, and matches. Be
sure to properly discard all smoking materials. Any dry grasses,
dead leaves, and other tree litter that ignite will have the
potential to spread fire quickly.
For more information about wildfire danger, burn restrictions,
and wildfire prevention and eduction, please visit your state`s
forestry or environmental protection website.
