Captain Michael will take care of all the fishing tackle, live bait, lures, licenses, as well as catch cleaning and filleting. Yours is just to bring the food and drinks of your choice.

Awesome day on the water
6 HR Trip Bass/Blues on August 31, 20253 adults2 children

I had a few friends in town so we were looking to fish for stripers. The weather was great, the boat and captain were awesome and although the fishing was slow for a spell (it happens sometimes) we were able to land 6 big stripers and had a great time. Definitely recommend the boat and captain and would book this trip again.

7 Hour Trip Bass/Blues/Groundfish on October 11, 20255 adults

I’ve been on many fishing trips/charters everywhere from Florida all the way to Rhode Island now, and this ranks right up there as one of the best I’ve taken! Many laughs and a bunch fish caught. Can’t wait to re-book and fish with Captain Mike again! Thanks again Captain!

A great day!
4 Hour Trip on September 22, 20252 adults

Took my boyfriend and our friend out for a 4 hour trip and the captain and first mate couldn’t be more attentive. They did their very best to give us the greatest odds of catching and moved locations multiple times if they weren’t biting.

Captain Mike is a pro
4 Hour Trip on September 12, 20256 adults

Our small group of inexperienced jiggers felt safe and capable under the expertise of Capt Mike. Perfect afternoon that resulted in a successful catch that we grilled up at home for dinner. Highly recommend.
