    Striped Bass and Much More!

    4 Hour – Bass Trips on July 5, 2021 • 4 adults

    This experience with Captain Rick and First Mate Rick was absolutely fantastic! The trip was much more than fishing, it was the complete ocean experience. We started off by casting out our own lines to catch some bait fish in preparation for the angler extravaganza; catching a monster striped bass. As the bait fish storage tank filled up, we headed to find some stripers where we were greeted by a wonderful whale watching experience. The crew was kind enough to let us stop and enjoy the beautiful views of a playful juvenile humpback whale. As the whale moved on we turned back to the original mission of hooking a monster bass. The crew brought us to a fantastic location where every single member of the party caught at least 2 striped bass to complete the experience. Beyond the fishing, the crew was light hearted, attentive, and ensured both experienced anglers and beginners had a fantastic time. We will certainly be booking with FV Emme Charters again!

    Striper trip with Captain Rick and Rick

    4 Hour – Bass Trips on July 30, 2021 • 6 adults

    Booked a 4 hour trip on the F/V Emme and we had a blast. Arrived early and boarded the boat promptly and were off within minutes of meeting the crew. The guys were real pros, kept us all organized and did a great job ensuring we had fresh bait and lines in the water at all times. One of the best parts of chartering a fishing vessel is when you get a crew as attentive as these guys were. Not only were they true professionals they were entertaining and great to chop it up with. Would give this 10 stars if it were possible. We will go out with them again next year for sure.

    We had a great time with Rick & Rick on the water! Both were so knowledgeable, fun and helpful. We all caught a few sea bass (what a thrill!) and were able to grill some up for dinner that night. I highly recommend fishing with them on the Emme - I know we will be back for more!
