Took my 14 year old daughter out on a half day trip. Captain Bill kept us on fish and his first mate kept us geared up and ready. By the end of the trip my daughter was sore from catching so many which means it was a great day fishing!

Thank you for the review Ryan! Great picture! We hope to take you guys out again sometime!
We caught at least 25 lbs of fish fillets of porgie, sea robin, black bass, striped bass, and blue fish. The crew was amazing and made it great day! Highly reccomend! You will catch fish!!
The weather was amazing. The crew was friendly and knowledgeable. We caught a lot of good sized fiahed and a few big ones. This exceeded my expectations.
Capt Bill led us on great trip, found the strippers and first mate Matthew assisted us with expertly landing several fish.
20 blue 8 porgi 10 black bass
