Captain Mike Formichella

Born and raised at the Jersey shore, Captain Mike has been fishing these waters for over 30 years. From surf casting in the suds to fishing the deep blue canyons, Capt. Mike has gained a wealth of knowledge fishing the Jersey Shore waters over the years. Capt. Mike has fished extensively out of South Florida, New England, California, Mexico and Costa Rica. Here in NJ, his charters focus on live bait fishing for striped bass and bottom fishing for fluke, blackfish and sea bass. Family fishing trips with kids are welcome.

“There is nothing more gratifying than putting people on fish”
Capt. Mike Formichella




Fish Head Fish Head is a 31 foot custom built Sea-Vee center console powered by twin Yamaha 300HP motors. The boat is built for speed in the rugged seas with a soft ride. Fish Head cruises at 34 knots with a top speed of 48 knots. Most importantly she offers a smooth comfortable ride regardless of sea conditions. What this means to you is 1st one to the fishing grounds and MORE fishing time! The boat is a fishing machine with 360 degrees of fishing space. Fish Head caters to all levels of fisherman from novice to hardcore. Our goal is to offer a pleasurable day on the water with the flexibility to accommodate your fishing desires. We fish out of Total Marine located at Shark River Inlet in Belmar, NJ.
