Jackie Loomis5.0VerifiedFish on!!!
Half Day Trip on August 16, 2026 • 5 adults • 1 childPatrick and Joe went out their way to make our trip comfortable and enjoyable. They were very knowledgeable and provided a great balance of teaching while still letting us do the catching on our own. We had a great morning catching numerous striper bass and will definitely choose them for future trips!
Lauren Mueller5.0VerifiedBiggest fish i’ve ever caught
Half Day Trip on May 28, 2026 • 4 adultsAmazing experience!! Patrick and Joe were great! We highly recommend them. We caught so many striped bass and some sea bass, too many to count. They knew the great spots to be in. They took all of the pictures and videos of fish we caught. 12/10 experience!!

Andrew JohansenRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat trip
Half Day Trip on July 28, 2025 • 2 adultsTook my seventeen year old daughter out with Patrick and Josef. They picked us up right at the dock or our motel. And took the fifteen minutes ride out to the grounds. Caught 8 with the largest striped bass near 30 lbs. Patrick and Joseph did an amazing job. They were knowledgeable and patient. I will go out with them again.

Gary AyersRepeat angler5.0VerifiedHalf Day Trip with Captain Pat
Half Day Trip on July 13, 2022 • 2 adultsThe short version: Excellent trip! The longer version: Pickup was a breeze. Pat had us in the stripers as soon as we hit the fishing grounds. Both he and the first mate were top notch: very helpful and great with teaching the techniques used. Once we had it down, they pretty much let us do as much as we felt comfortable with and I really appreciated the respect and independence they afforded us. We spent the bulk of the morning fishing striped bass, but also spent time jigging for black sea bass and heading into the inlet to jig for fluke to finish out the morning. Pat would have gladly spent the entire morning fishing stripers, but he gave us options and we elected to try some different species. Our fish were prepped by the first mate as we were heading back in to the dock. Upon closer inspection of the fillets once home, I was very happy with the quality of the prep and the meat required only very minimal trimming prior to vac sealing and freezing. The bottom line is that I would not hesitate to utilize this charter service again in the future. Excellent service, great fishing, and memories to last a lifetime...what more could you ask for?
