Donald Denight5.0VerifiedToday was Great
3 Hour Trip - Family Bay Fishing PM on July 28, 2026 • 5 adults • 2 childreni booked a trip and explained that this was my 6 Yr Old Grandson first trip Fishing from a boat. Our Captain and his mate went over the top to make this a unforgettable experience. Owen(my grandson) caught 7 fish and was very excited. The crew allowed him to release all the fish we caught (under the size limit) they explained each fish species we caught pointed out interesting  characteristics and what he would expect when they took the bait.

5 HR Ocean Flounder to 10 miles on July 3, 2025 • 5 adultsWe took a family 5hr morning trip out to the Ocean City NJ reef. Captain Mike and 1st mate Tommy were very friendly, knowledgeable, and fun. They patiently taught us how to fish the reef and constantly kept our lines repaired and hooks baited. Everyone in our group caught fish including 3 keeper flounder that Captain Mike filleted for us and gave us pointers how to cook. A great experience. Will definitely book with him again.
Kerri WardRepeat angler5.0VerifiedSimple, Fun, and Family Friendly!
3 Hour Trip – Family Bay Fishing AM on August 4, 2025 • 6 adults • 4 childrenWe took four kids under the age of ten out with captain Mike and it was great! His boat was steps from where we parked. We hopped right on the boat and we were fishing within 15 minutes! He knew all the drifts, so we were catching a lot of fish! The kids had a blast!! They baited our rods and unhooked our fish. It was awesome! Definitely recommend!
