Polarizer Fishing

My love of fishing and boating began around 1967, when I would fish with my grandfather, father and friends on the waters off and around Ocean City, New Jersey. My love for catching flounder and small bluefish soon turned into a passion and in 1976 the thought of chasing marlin, tuna, dolphin, wahoo and swordfish at the offshore canyons of New Jersey intrigued me. My father George Jr. owned numerous boats of various types and sizes over the years including a 1985 45’ Hatteras and a 50’ Bertram called the Weketchem, which he purchased in 1994 and used extensively until his untimely passing in 1996. During our time together with my father and grandfather, I learned a lot about the upkeep of our boats and was given many responsibilities including cleaning and maintenance, rigging baits and lures, and yes, spending shifts at the helm at 2:00 a.m. during trips to the canyon when I was just 16 years old while my father slept below.

Over the years Team Polarizer, with the help of close friends and two of my three boys, George IV (Swab) and Greg, began to become more recognized for our frequent offshore efforts. In July of 2015, we purchased our first Viking, a 2013 55’ Viking Convertible. Having a competitive boat with amazing speed, range, comfort and fish-raising ability together with a seasoned full-time captain allowed us to compete and travel the long distances in a very short amount of time and was an important step in developing our winning team.

When we are not competing in tournaments or fun fishing on The Rip, our family really enjoys cruising aboard our Viking. Some of our favorite spots we frequently visit include The Abaco’s and Exuma’s, Key West and all points in between New England and our winter home in Palm Beach, Florida. In the coming year, we look forward to the arrival of the new South Jersey Yacht Sales 64’ Viking Polarizer. During your travels should you happen to see the Polarizer along the way we invite you to stop by and say hello and share your adventures with our family. Until then, wherever your journey may take you, may the seas be safe and calm and the fish you target be hungry as well!
