Sure. Fishing has been really decent both inshore and offshore. Bluefin both giant and rec size to be had on bait/troll/spin locally. Bass transitioning from squid to sandeels and still productive on most tides under bird piles.

    Captain Bob and his mate Rocko showed us the best day of fishing we could have asked for. They showed my son , niece and nephew how to bring in the stripers and that we did. Nice conversations, personable guys, highly recommend this trip. Jeff Brooke

    Five stars only, because there is no option for six. We had a great time fishing with Mark and his son Ryan. Caught bunch of bonitos and couple of striped bass. Weather was perfect and company even better . Thank you captain Mark!

    Trip: Half Day Fishing Charter

  • ★★★★★
    Capt Marc was great - he got us on fish quickly. He had each of the 4 of us pulling in big fish for most of our time out there. Crew was very helpful too, especially for less experienced fisherman such as we are. Great experience and would definitely do it again! Great way to celebrate a 60th birthday with friends. - Rich

    Captain Mark Hakey and his Mate Casey did a fantastic job and provided great service for our family. We caught a good amount of stripers and everyone had a great time. The Captain and Mate are polite and professional and the boat was spotless.

    Cpt. Drew took my father, uncle, cousin, and I out for a four our trip and I couldn’t have been more impressed with his knowledge, professionalism, and spirit. He knew all the tricks to get us going, and within minutes, we had our first catch. We caught over 15 fish on our trip and brought a few home for dinner! Will be looking forward to booking him next year as well!
