Great time! Safety First!!
Half Day – Weekend Night Bridge on September 3, 2023 • 3 adults

Crazy evening on the water, being a holiday weekend lots of boaters partaking in how should I say, "extra-curricular activities", Captain Mike keep us safe and made the trip a lot of fun. He worked hard to put us on the fish and we even had a great view of a local fireworks show. We will definitely book with Captain Mike again.

Michael Ardelean
Response from Captain

Thank you Eric for the kind review. It definitely was a crazy evening... Might have to reconsider taking night trips on long holiday weekends in the summer next year. Safety definitely first!!

4 Hour Saturday Morning Trip was AWESOME!
Half Day Trip (AM) on August 14, 2021 • 2 adults

My two sons and I had a great day of fishing! CAPT Mike was awesome. We got to the fishing grounds quickly and my son landed a nice fluke on his first cast! CAPT Mike had us on the fish the entire time - we easily caught and released 60+ fish, including lots of fluke and sea bass. Mike had our keepers filleted before we even got back to the dock. We are already looking at the calendar to book our next outing!!! If you are looking to have a good time with friends or family on a well-equipped, clean vessel, with an excellent chance of catching a lot of fish, CAPT Mike and the AbbyLi should be your first choice!

Response from Captain

Thanks Scott for the kind words. I had a blast with you guys today. Can’t wait to get out there again with you and the boys!!

    I was in the area visiting family and was able to book a charter with Captain Mike with else. Communication was A1 and he’s extremely knowledgeable of the waters. Caught a bunch of fish, too big to keep, but the time and experience was great.
