We met Captain Ed at the Boat ramp to start our morning. Captain Ed was there waiting on us and offered to help carry our stuff to the boat. The morning was colder than normal( around 50) at the start. The wind was around 10-12mph, so not the pleasant fishing day. However, we loaded the boat and set off for a morning of fishing. Dad caught a sheepshead right off, so it looked promising. The wind picked up, the biting slowed down but picked up later in the morning. Everyone landed a fish or 2 and a couple in the party even lost a few. All in all, we froze, caught fish and had a great time with Ed. We had great conversation, Captain Ed tried his hardest to put us on fish with a day that just wasn’t corporation with us. I highly recommend Captain Ed and would seek him for another fishing excursion if I am in the area again. Thanks for a great time Ed
Randy it’s was a great to fish with you and your crew ! We caught a few fish had lots of laughs and survived the brutal weather. Thanks once again
What a day! We caught some great fish with plenty of down time in between catches to relax and take it all in! Captain Ed was AWESOME! He got us out to the spot quickly and we got our first hit and catch 10 minutes on station! Captain Ed knew exactly where to be. This was the first time me and my family oceaned fished and Captain Ed gave us very good tips and instructions on keeping the fish on the line and landing the fish. Captain Ed you really made the experience awesome you will be seeing us again next time, thank you for the great time!!
What a pleasure to fish with you and your family. Glad you had such a great experience on your first ocean fishing trip.
My son, my daughter’s boyfriend, and I had a incredible day fishing! It was as perfect of a day as you could get. Captain Ed took us 19 miles out (a little farther than normal) because that is where the fish were. He kept us on top of fish all morning. There were 18 other boats around us and we were one of only two boats hitting fish. We brought home enough meat for 30 meals. AND we had an amazing time. If I could give it more than 5 ⭐️I would. We are coming back in June and can’t wait to book another trip with the man himself.
What a blast ! Hope to see you all in August
Took my wife and 2 children charter fishing for the first time . Captain Ed was patient and put us on the fish all day. We had a great time and the kids most of all had fun. I will return and go with Captain Ed again.
What a great day on the water with your family
Decent trip. Our group of 6, from KY, all caught something, so including two sharks. Our youngest, age 12, had fun too. More variety may have been nice… but hey… it’s fishing. :) Capt. Ed was great.
