Captain's choice /4 P.M. trip
Unforgettable Trip!
From start to finish, this fishing charter exceeded all expectations. Captain Dave and first mate Matt were not only professional and knowledgeable but also incredibly friendly and fun to be around. They made everyone—from beginners to seasoned anglers—feel right at home. The boat was spotless, well-equipped, and super comfortable. We hit some great fishing spots, and thanks to the captain’s expertise, we were reeling in fish in no time! We caught a beautiful fluke, sea bass and scup which was a bucket-list moment for me. What really stood out was how the crew went the extra mile to ensure everyone had a great time. They shared tips, told great stories, and even helped clean and pack the fish for us to take home. Whether you're looking for a relaxing day on the water or chasing big catches, this charter is the one to book. Can’t wait to come back again

Great day on the water
Captain Dave and hand Matt were fantastic. They made sure everyone in the party knew how to use the gear. They offered suggestions to those of us having difficulty keeping the fish on the line. They always had an extra rod baited up, assisted with the occasional untangle, and were just great guys to talk to. We moved to a few areas, had to rewatch the drift a few times but by the end we were pulling something up every couple of minutes. We caught a scup, fluke and black sea bass, and they filleted all of them for us. I would recommend using email direct with Captain Dave as I was not sure if the fishing booker messaging service was fully going through.

Fish + Crew = Great
Went out fishing on a day that had rough conditions because the timing was the only thing that worked to celebrate Father’s Day with my BF, his kids, and my dad. The captain gave me the option of postponing (which was really awesome and would have been desired if our schedules allowed), but we went for it. No regrets. We caught fish, learned a lot from the crew, and enjoyed the water. The on board toilet was helpful, too. Really enjoyed the time and will go back for a longer trip, soon!

Book this charter!
Captain Dave and 1st Mate, Matt, were outstanding. Knowledgeable, helpful and personable. There were 5 of us and we each caught at least one striper. One was a 50-pounder. Hooked a couple sharks as a bonus, one of which we fought for 30 minutes. We also did some bottom fishing and caught sea bass and flounder. Matt filleted some of the sea bass for the night’s dinner. It was a great day, and we’ll definitely book with Spear-it next summer.

Great trip! Great crew!
We had a great time going fishing in early October with Captain David and his crew! The ship is comfortable and well appointed. The crew is knowledgeable and friendly. They worked hard to put us on over a dozen fish. Highly recommend booking a trip with these guys!
