Looking to catch some super cool fish, have a great time, and only head out a maximum of 25 miles? Then join Captain Mike Tierney of Uptick Charters today for a fishing adventure you won’t forget in a hurry.

You will spend the day aboard his 36’ Cougar catamaran. You and 5 fishing friends will have plenty of space to fish simultaneously on this trip. The boat is equipped with all the necessary electronics to help you track the fish.

You can expect to see a range of species on these trips, including Mahi Mahi, Yellowfin Tuna, Wahoo, Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, Tilefish, and more. These will mostly be caught by trolling and bottom fishing. These trips are great for the whole family.

Even kids as young as 5 can come on these trips. Start their love of fishing from an early age. Due to the nature of the sea, Capt. Mike would recommend to bring them on the inshore trip. If the parent is happy though, Capt. Mike and his crew are happy.

Live bait is prepared before the trip, so you can spend maximum time with your lines in the water. You are welcome to bring along food and drink, which can be kept in the coolers on board. Then, after the trip, transfer your haul into your personal cooler in the car.

Please note, it is customary to tip the crew 20% after the trip. They are with you every step of the trip and will show you the tricks of the trade so you can catch your dream fish. Uptick Charters can’t wait to welcome you on the water and start making some awesome memories together.

Family friendly great morning!
Half Day Trip – Inshore (AM) on June 25, 20243 adults2 children
We had a great time with Captain Mike and first Mate Dallas! We took our two kids aged 6 and 9 and they were perfect ages for the inshore trip. Our little guy got a bit sea sick and Dallas took great care of him getting a bucket of cool water for his feet and having him lay back. We caught several fish and were provided the info for a marina close by to get them cleaned. We will definitely be rebooking next year!

I Took my 14-year-old boy on his first ocean fishing charter. Captain Mike and Dallas (deck-mate) are friendly and fun. They made the trip a perfect first experience for my son. They promised us sharks and they delivered.
