    Amazing Fishing Trip

    4 Hour Trip – Special on May 4, 2026 • 6 adults • 1 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.

    Fishing with JB.

    Half Day Winter Special (PM) on June 19, 2023 • 5 adults

    JB made sure we had the best possibilities to catch fish while watching out for our safety. We caught a shark and two Cobias. Unfortunately, both Cobias were just short of being legal to keep. While we were far away from land, JB kept a close eye on a storm that was rolling in. He kept us out as long as possible, but when he knew staying out any longer was dangerous, he took us to another location closer to the return dock. Soon after we arrived by the dock, we heard thunder and ended our trip a few minutes early, but JB prorated our trip since we didn’t get the full 4 hrs. I highly recommend JB and would definitely book with him again.

    Half Day morning trip with Captain Lucas

    Winter Sale Day Half Day Trip (AM) on July 27, 2022 • 4 adults • 2 children

    Overall the trip was great!!! Although fish weren’t biting great we all still caught at least one fish (Captain Lucas hooked one and let our little one reel it in). We have an 8year old daughter who wasn’t super interested in fishing but was very inquisitive about the bait (mud minnows) and Captain Lucas answered every question she had and kept her entertained while the rest of us fished. He was quick to resolve any issues/snags we had and moved us to several areas to try and catch fish. We did catch one regulation size flounder that he fillet out and cleaned up for us to bring home. We would recommend Captain Lucas, especially if you’ll be taking any kiddos, he was absolutely amazing with our daughter who asked questions for 4 hours straight.
