Incredible day!
4 hr bottom fishing (7am-11am) on August 10, 20251 adult1 child
We went out bottom fishing with Capt Wally and Sharon and had an absolute blast. We had 3 preteens with two dads and they catered so well to us being beginners with instruction and plenty of fish! Capt Wally is so knowledgeable, having spent almost his whole life fishing the area. We went to a couple different spots and caught about 70 or more fish(spot, croakers) and a handful of toadfish in our four hour tour. They taught us a quick easy way to clean them and we had some great eating tonight. We’ll definitely be back!

Bluefish trip on August 5, 20255 adults
Capt Wally and his first mate Sharon were great. They took time to explain our options regarding fishing and length of the day’s events. The captain worked with us to ensure we got what we wanted, lots of fishing and plenty of “action”. We’ll definitely be back.
