3/4 Day Trip on April 19, 20263 adults1 child

We didnt catch any keeper fish, Captain was using too much profanity ( i guess he felt comfortable with us) and he also used the N-word thinking it was cool. We had 3 adults and 1 minor on board. The Capt. did search a lot of spots looking for fish but we didnt have any luck, i wouldn’t recommend booking with him in my opinion

Phenomenal experience
3/4 Day Trip on February 25, 20234 adults

Absolutely incredible from beginning to end. Our captain was accommodating, relatable, and overall fantastic for our group of novices. He knew where to lay the line and he got us on enough fish to outlast the winter. We went everywhere from bridgeheads, to secluded river banks to entire inlets. We had a blast and cannot reccomend this charter enough.
