Fantastic fishing trip

VERIFIED

Striped Bass and Bluefish (AM) on July 27, 2024

This was a mind-boggling experience. We caught 22 Striped Bass, and 20 were too big to keep. Most were well over 32" and some over 40". Usually, you try to catch fish that are big enough to keep. Now we were trying to catch fish small enough to keep !!! Can you believe it? Captain Matt was fantastic. He tracked down the fish and positioned us all day right over them. We were able to cast with lures as well as fish with bait. Matts's boat was beautiful, clean, uncluttered with a center console, and perfectly outfitted with just the right medium-weight tackle. This made for great sports fishing. This was a purpose-built fishing machine. This was my family's yearly fishing trip, and it was by far the very best we have experienced. Captain Matt, with his incredible energy, made it happen.
