    Great trip with great crew!

    6 Hour Mid Shore Trip on August 31, 2026 • 5 adults

    We booked this trip for our annual brothers fishing trip and had a good time on our six hour trip. Several adjacent charters went out at the same time and didn’t have the as much luck as we did. Captain Mike and first mate Mike jr. were very friendly, knowledgeable and we caught some spanish mackerel and bonita bait fish to use for the nice barracuda we caught and Crab Catchers restaurant cooked some of our catch right at the dock when we got back. Would definitely book again! Thanks Mike & Mike!!

    6 Hour Mid Shore Trip on July 12, 2026 • 4 adults

    We loved the experience. Zoe and her Dad stayed on top of keeping our lines baited. It was a first for my kids and it was a really great experience for them. Zoe was super engaged and once we knew she played soccer it was on! Go USA and thank you for the wonderful hospitality. We will be back!

    6 Hour Mid Shore Trip on July 4, 2026 • 2 adults

    Mike Sr. and Mike Jr. were very friendly and knowledgeable. We caught our limit of Spanish Makeral and kept on catching more just for fun because we still had 2 hours left. They know where to find the fish, I highly recommend them for your next charter.

I started fishing as a kid with my father, I grew up in New Jersey fishing the Jersey Shore. We ran our charter business out of Barnegat Inlet for 20 years from there we did a number of vessel deliveries up and down the East Coast and overseas. We moved our business to South Carolina 2010. I have passed on my fishing legacy to my two sons Capt Mike Jr and Capt Kyle who both like myself are 100ton USCG Licensed Captains.

    This was our first charter fishing trip. Our goal was to do a small group so we could get the attention of the captain and crew. We spent most of our time watching Mike set up fishing lines. At one point, I was a bit confused as to what we were even doing. Nothing was explained to us. I feel there should be a presentation that explains what the trip is going to look like and what is going to occur over the 4 hour time period. If I didn’t ask questions, I don’t think anyone would have said anything. I expected to be taught some fishing skills and to actually fish. This trip was watching poles be set up and if something got caught on the line, the pole was handed to one of us to reel in the fish. That is not my idea of a chartered fishing trip. For the amount of money we paid, watching someone else fish was not what was anticipated. That being said, Mike the captain was soo nice and friendly. I enjoyed our conversation.

    Not our first family deep sea fishing trip. This one was hard to rate because it has nothing to do with catching only one small shark. We were ignored while on the boat. They didnt tell us what they were doing, what we should do, we sat in silence. We have 3 kids, tell a fishing story, tell us what they like to eat, dont like to eat. You have decades of experience, talk to us! It’s supposed to be an experience. We know fishing is unpredictable, we’re not upset about that. But that was a lot of money for 4 hrs that we hated. They did their job and took us out, we gave them the 20% tip, but we’ll never do that again.
