The crew of Nearfall Fishing Charters had moved their boat to the Lockwood Boat Works in South Amboy to the spring striper run as of March 28. Capt. Joe Paton told me he will fish out of that port for at least six weeks for stripers before move the boat back to Belmar to the summer fishing. For a spring fishing charter give Joe a call.

Whether you are a seasoned veteran of the sport or testing your sea legs for the first time, Nearfall Fishing Charters is the place for you. Captain Joe Paton US Coast Guard Licensed 100 Ton Master Captain Capt. Joe has been working on fishing boats since he was 15 years old and has been fishing the New Jersey waters since he was five. He spent 10 years working as deckhand aboard the Dauntless out of Pt. Pleasant, NJ and has been a USCG Licensed 100 Ton Master Captain for seven years. During his time as a young captain, he trained under the direct tutelage of Captain Butch Egerter who has fished the Jersey Coast for over 50 years. Over the years, Joe has spent time running head boats and local charter boats. Capt. Joe is a man on a mission and that mission is to get you on productive fishing grounds and to see the joy in a customer's face when they have landed a personal best fish or landed something they have never seen before. Filling a cooler to bring home for dinner is always on the to-do list and by days-end, you will have your fair share. However, what really brings pride to Capt. Joe, is seeing someone grow as a fisherman and giving the customer an experience that elicits the same obsession that took over Capt. Joe at a young age.
