Lasley Family Monster Blue Fin Trip 1/7/2023
10 Hour Trip – Giant Bluefin Tuna on January 7, 20232 adults
What a way to start the 2023 fishing season! Can't say enough good things about this boat and crew. I've been on over 50 charters and this was the best by far. Great entertainment. Great advice and encouragement (you need it reeling in one of these monsters). Will not be the last time I'm on this boat. Bobby and Aimee are the BEST! Summary: 2-20# Black Fin Tuna off the start. Meat in the boat! 1-Gigantic 500# Blue Fin (445 gutted) - 2.5 hour fight (2 people alternating) - 94" butterball - Naked ballyhoo - Dragged us over 10 miles out to the gulf stream - Value of trip....PRICELESS

Full Day with Captain Bobby
11 Hour Trip – Offshore on August 4, 20234 adults
Captain Bobby and Aimee were phenomenal! Our trip was originally planned for a Friday but he accommodated us for the next day due to weather. Captain Bobby put us on 5 species of fish all day and Aimee can outrigg any first mate! If we weren’t getting a hit she would change out rigs and then we would have fish on. They are both some of the most personable people you can spend all day on the water with and make it feel you’re like old friends. We’re already making plans to again in the spring.

11 Hour Trip – Offshore on May 13, 20223 adults
Bobby and Aimee were the best. Bobby made sure we caught fish. Having 3 of us made for a great day and gave us a lot of room on the boat. They both were so friendly and helpful. Thank you for opening up your boat/home to us! They both were so hospitable! They explained their rigs to us and the various techniques for trolling. So informative. They were always tending to our needs and sent us home super happy! I can’t wait til the next trip. ….Bobby and Aimee you guys rock! Can’t wait to see you on this years season of “Wicked Tuna-OBX”. Joe, Sherry and Marcie.
