Amazing Captain
Half Day Charters (AM) Special on July 18, 2025
I bought this trip for my 2 adult children and their spouses. We’re all life time fishermen, and I’ve been fishing the inlets my entire life. The problem is, I’ve been fishing for flounder all wrong. The captain immediately taught them his technique and they ended up catching between 15-20 flounder (5 keepers) in a 4 hour morning, along with a lot of other various species. Funny thing is, even though they were surrounded by other boats, they were the only ones putting fish in the live well. They absolutely could not stop bragging on this trip and how much they enjoyed their captain!

A good time
Half Day Charters (AM) Special on August 2, 2025
We had a good time out. A couple of my buddies hadn't been fishing before.We didn't go as far as we would've due to a storm that came through the day before.the captain kept us in safe waters the entire time. We caught a few fish but I believe the water wasn't right after that weather the day before. Besides that we still had a great time. I would definitely give this charter another try. As suggested by the captain probably a different time of the year.They're very knowledgeable of the waters and handle their crafts very well.

Thank you Captain Jason for the unforgettable experience and we will definitely be seeing you again! Tight lines

Great First Ocean Experience
Half Day Charters (PM) Special on March 21, 2025
This was our first ocean fishing experience and we had so much fun. Captain Hayden was kind and very nice to converse with. He shared his experience and knowledge with us and we felt his mission was to make sure we caught fish. If we weren’t getting many bites in one area he gave us the 5 minute rule and then we boated to another area. We caught several beautiful bass but unfortunately they were a bit too small to keep. We did catch sheepshead and gorgeous trout. The only ugly fish we caught were a couple of toad fish. They were interesting to look at. Captain Hayden gave us cooking tips for preparing our fish and they were delicious. We look forward to booking with Captain Hayden again if we are lucky enough to have the opportunity.

A Great Time
Half Day Charters (PM) Special on July 29, 2025
Took my son and son-in-law fishing and even though the bite was on the slow side we still had a great time. Much of that is to be credited to Captain Ike who really made the trip so much more enjoyable with his good humor and great personality. He even went so far as to credit us an additional 2.5 hours of fishing on second day after our first day had been rained out. Highly recommend. Oh, and we also caught some fish!
