    We Caught Our Limit!

    Bottom Fishing PM on October 24, 2026 • 4 adults

    Had an amazing time. Captain Travis was great. Extremely knowledgeable about the area, the hot spots, and what was biting. Boat was very clean and new. We caught a ton of Spot fish bottom fishing, and then shifted to live bait fishing for Striped Bass. Caught our limit in no time. So much fun. If you want a great Captain, nice boat and gear, and to catch fish, this is the charter to take. Highly recommend.

    great trip with the family!

    Striped bass Live Linning - 2:00 PM on May 24, 2026 • 5 adults • 2 children

    We were out there to catch striped bass , and the mission was completed! I brought my brothers and nephews along and they loved it. Next time I hope its warm so we can catch more bait fish so we can have more time to catch the stripers. Definitely will be booking again. 10/10 experience. Captain and his son great people and will teach you everything you need to know.

    Amazing day on the water

    Striped bass Live Linning on June 7, 2026 • 6 adults

    Had an awesome trip with Captain Chris. The boat was clean, the gear was in great shape, and he put us right on the fish. Super helpful and friendly crew from start to finish. Our group had novice anglers on board and it was no problem. Highly recommend booking with them!

    Great trip

    Kids trip ! pm on August 26, 2024 • 4 adults • 2 children

    Captain Travis and son are terrific - our two boys (7 and 9) had a blast and caught lots of fish, didn’t want to leave even after > 4 hours. Travis deftly and safely navigated a few small storms to give us a great experience. Will definitely rebook!

    Another great day of fishing with Schooled up fishing charters. We had a full day of fishing, friends, and fun. We also caught more fish than other boat on the water. I really appreciate how hard they work to put us on fish all day.
