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.

    Captain Mike and Mate Charles are tje best!

    7 Hour Trip Bass/Blues/Groundfish on July 18, 2026 • 6 adults • 2 children

    Captain Mike and Mate Put us in great top water action with Stripers and Blues when everyone else had s tough day. Great boat handling and rapid fire action during thr last 2 hours of our trip landing 10 bass up to about 40 inches and a 10 pound bluefish. Captian Mike worked thosf fish beautifully with expedt boat handling with Charley providing top notch work in the back of boat.

    6 HR Trip Bass/Blues/Groundfish on August 16, 2026 • 6 adults

    Great boat, had a tough day fishing. lots of baitfish but not much stripers. Maybe trying for other types of fish just to give us something might be a good thing. we are thankful we did catch one. Maybe next time.

    5 hour trip

    5 Hour Trip on August 10, 2021 • 5 adults • 2 children

    Captain Mike is one of the best! It was my husband and I with our 3 kids (15,12 and 9). We learned how to jog fish and caught 4 stripers and 1 big blue and then we went to sea bass fishing. We caught a bunch there too! He answered all our questions and was very patient with the kids. Weather was cooperating, it was a beautiful afternoon out at sea. Great start to our vacation and the boys will be back for a off shore trip very soon. Greg and Hollie Hamelin
