I like teaching new to fishing folks how to catch fish. I like especially first time fishermen getting them a fish to remember! We really have a good time with families catching fish .
Depending on the species we have some different methodologies. Bluefish we have an early morning trip that will shock you how big some of these blues can get in the bay! Stripers well we catch em when people don’t expect to be catching them. Fall stripers well mix it up with trolling spoons and umbrellas to live lining and poppers all in the same trip to keep the action up.
Offshore we get the Roffs forecast and talk with clients why we should fish where we fish. We also like to see you catch fish so sometimes we don’t really watch the time and enjoy the action!
