Captain Jeff and First Mate Turner were top notch. From start to finish, they helped us all the way through learing how to fish for Stripped Bass and Flounder. We caught 7 bass and 4 flounder (and 2 horseshoe crabs and couple snails along with an old lobster trap LOL). We kept the 4 bass and 3 flounder. We had the local marina restuarant to fry the flounder, and we had stripped bass flilets to take home. Phenomenal. They were very patient with all of us and really knew their way around the best spots to catch fish. Really capped off our trip with a great experience.
Captain Jeff and Turner were amazing! The found the fish and we reeled them in! The boat was great, Jeff and Turner were friendly and easy to get along with, and it helps that we had great weather and good luck with the fish! 10/10 will book with Jeff again next time we come to the Cape!
caught 2 fish right away a keeper and one that was to big . Captain Jeff was greaf with the kids and his second mate Turner was greaf as well . very professional crew
Caught 7 stripers, 6 of which too big to keep and 3 of thise over 40”. Our third incredible trip with Captain Jeff and First Light. Awesome boat and awesome captain!!
We had a wonderful time with Jason and Mason- both kind, thoughtful and great at their craft- we caught 8 fish, kept 4 which left us feeling very successful. Our three teens had a blast and asked if we can do it again next year. Thank you Jason and Mason for your expertise and enthusiasm!
