Amazing Fishing Trip
Half Day Fishing Trip – Special on May 4, 20265 adults1 child

We had an amazing fishing trip that exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived Captian Adam made us feel very comfortable. What really stood out was how great he was with the kids— super patient with our 10 year old who loves fishing. He took the time to teach him how to cast & and reel in fish without ever making it feel rushed or stressful. You could tell he genuinely enjoyed helping our son have a great experience. We caught a ton of different fish! The music on the boat was also a great touch to our fishing experience!! We will definitely use Tide Chasers again.

Reported catch:
Black Seabass
Spanish Mackerel
Flounder

Great captain.
Half Day Fishing Trip – Special - 12:30 PM on June 23, 20264 adults1 child

Very windy causing the captain to attempt to find calmer areas lot fish in. The wind made it difficult to determine when to set the hook when the flounder hit.
