Captain Diane Bade
Lady Di Fishing Charters is owned and operated by Captain Diane Bade. Captain Bade began fishing on the Raritan Bay as a young girl with her father. She quickly picked up the basics and pursued her interest in fishing and boating independently. Captain Bade has leveraged her early experiences on the bay to hone her knowledge and expertise to become a top-tier fisherwoman and boater. After many years of recreational fishing, Captain Bade began the journey towards her Captain's license and starting her own charter business. After many years of successful charters, happy patrons, countless fish, and one hurricane, Captain Bade continues to channel her passions through sportfishing. Captain Diane holds a USCG 100 Ton Masters License.
Captain Bade believes that, above all, fishing should be fun for both the novices as well as experienced anglers. For the greenhorn who wants to enjoy a casual day with their family, the hard-working professional who wants something other than a golf outing or wine tasting, or the seasoned angler who wants nothing more than the thrill of the catch, Captain Bade strives to deliver nothing less than a first-class experience.
Captain Bade is an avid road cyclist and spends her free time... fishing.
