Fishing has been consistently good both inshore and offshore. Inshore we are targeting Striped Bass in a summer pattern, targeting these fish early and late in deeper water. Smaller fish are feeding on top as we have smaller bait start to flush out of river and estuaries. Bluefish are also being caught regularly, in more of surface feeding type situations. We are seeing increased presence of Atlantic Bonito, and some False Albacore. Again since we have so much bait on the bays, these fish tend to fill in this time of year which is essentially the beginning of our Fall...

We are seeing increased presence of Atlantic Bonito, and some False Albacore. Again since we have so much bait on the bays, these fish tend to fill in this time of year which is essentially the beginning of our Fall Run. Still plenty of Black Seabass and Fluke to be had for the dinner plate. offshore: Bluefin tuna are the name of the game, recreational size bluefin fishing has been on fire. Targeting them on jigs and top water, some live bait. Giants are also in abundance, which is a fun way to spend a day. We have been targeting these fish on live bait and artificial lures. On both light tackle and heavy gear. An experience to say the least. Generally ranging from the 200-900lb class. Shark fishing is consistently productive as well, Mako, Brown, Dusky and Hammerhead sharks have been willing to play on light tackle.

    We had a fantastic fishing trip with Captain Kevin! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and worked hard to make sure everyone had a great time. He put us on the fish, made the experience fun and stress-free, and helped create some wonderful family memories. We highly recommend Captain Kevin to anyone looking for a great day on the water, and we’ll definitely be back!

    Tyler was amazing! Timely, professional and friendly. This charter was a gift for my dad for Father's Day, and we had the best time making memories as a family. All five of us each caught something, we would highly recommend and we plan to book again with Tyler in the future!
