Your vessel for the day will be a 20' Fishmaster bay boat, built in 2002 and overhauled in 2026 and another Fishmaster made in 2005 that was o wrhauled in 2025. This is a spacious fishing machine that can comfortably accommodate up to 5 anglers.

Your trip will include quality gear by SixGillFishing, RSR Lures, A.M.Fishing, and Eternal Lithium. When targeting Striper, you will be able to catch live bait as a part of the experience, while other species can be caught with RSR lures.

Captain Don is a Great Teacher and Awesome Guide
Half Day Trip on September 7, 20263 adults

I was impressed how Captain Don patiently answered every question we had and he also put us on a lot of fish (38 sand bass, 1 big catfish I couldn’t get in the boat, and 1 big crappie). He also told us some great stories and overall made the whole adventure fun. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Amazing trip!
Half Day Trip on March 28, 20262 adults

Captain Don did a fantastic job of putting us on the fish. Don did a great job explaining all of the fishing techniques and equipment to my son and I (a couple of fishing newbies). we stopped counting after 60 sand bass. We had a lot of keepers but were doing catch and release. From start to finish the experience the whole trip was easy and informative. Hreat fun and memories!
