Captain Brent and justin were awesome highly recommend them had a great time caught some striped bass
Awesome captain with the educated angler on bord with us.
It was our first group deep sea fishing trip. Expectations were exceeded by Capt. Brent and crew. They were very knowledgeable. They were also very patient. We were having a tough time setting the hook after bites. Capt. Brent and crew showed us techniques to help. It was easy after the lessons. We caught our limit of striped bass (12). We also landed a sturgeon and a starry flounder. We did release the sturgeon because it was out of season. I will be booking with them for my next trip! Highly recommend.
