Half Day Trip – Striper (PM) on August 8, 2021 • 2 adultsGreat half day trip. We caught about 10 strippers including a 27, 32, 38 and 41 inch striped bass. Our largest pictured weighed in at 29 lbs! We had a blast and caught 30-40 mackerel first to use for live bait. Great trip for all of us!

Full Day Trip—Shark/Bottom Fishing on April 30, 2022 • 2 adultsMy boyfriend and I went on a full day fishing trip with Captain Jim and it was an absolute blast! He was great about keeping us updated before the trip and guided us through what to expect the day of. We had great luck catching many haddock, red fish, cusk, pollock, and a wolf fish! Captain Jim was personable and so easy to get along with making us feel incredibly comfortable. He took care of absolutely everything for us including cleaning our fish and taught us cool things about each fish we caught. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to book a trip. Definitely coming back for shark in the summer!
Benjamin Whitcomb5.0VerifiedSo much fun!
Half Day Trip – Striper (PM) on August 14, 2024 • 4 adultsCaptain Jim was fun and very knowledgeable. He took us to a couple of different spots until we got on the fish. We then caught quite a few and had alot of fun doing so! When we got back to the dock he cut up our fish for us. I would definitely recommend him to anyone!
Bob PellicanRepeat angler5.0VerifiedCaptain Jim was great!
Half Day Trip – Striper (PM) on July 20, 2023 • 3 adults • 2 childrenI took my 12 year old son and 15 year old daughter out with Polaris Charters and we had a great time. Started by catching some baitfish, then checked lobster traps and then caught stripers. Perfect way to spend an afternoon. At one point my son was getting a little seasick and Captain Jim took us to calmer waters and we still caught stripers. Highly recommend.

Half Day Trip – Striper (PM) on July 27, 2023 • 3 adultsCaptain Jim was amazing and a true professional at fishing. We reeled in a comparably large striper bass, which was a amazing experience. I would strongly recommend Captain Jim.
