My husband my dad and I booked a fishing charter with coal over Father's Day weekend and it was an incredible experience. I had never been on a charter before, and Cole made the entire day enjoyable from start to finish.

My husband my dad and I booked a fishing charter with coal over Father's Day weekend and it was an incredible experience. I had never been on a charter before, and Cole made the entire day enjoyable from start to finish.

What impress me most was how well he catered to each of our different experience levels. He made sure everyone felt comfortable and involved. It was obvious that he genuinely wanted us to catch fish
and was willing to go the extra mile to make it happen. At one point, he noticed other Boats were having success with a different bait that he didn't have on board. Rather than just accepting it, he immediately got on the phone and arranged for someone to bring it out to him so we could have the best chance of success.

Cole was also incredibly courteous to other fishermen on the water and seemed to know just about everyone in the area. His local knowledge and professionalism really stood out.

We ended up catching quite a few fish including red fish and flounder. We also caught a small shark and even a couple of eels. All in all it was a fantastic day filled with great fishing great company and plenty of excitement.

I would absolutely book another trip with Cole and highly recommend him to anyone looking for fun successful and memorable fishing charter experience.
