Half Day Trip on August 1, 20266 adults

Remarkable day of fluke catching. Sifted through dozens of shorts to grab some keepers. Most importantly another young man was introduced to fishing for the first time and he had the best day of us all. This boat creates anglers!

Sweet ass trip
Full Day Trip – Striped Bass on November 15, 20256 adults

Phenomenal trip on the water today, got into keeper stripers and a few overs. KC is an extremely knowledgeable captain and taught me many things over the 8 hour time span. Anthony is also a great teacher on and off the boat which is more than a young fishing crew can ask for. Super cool charismatic guys that know what the hell they’re doing ! Highly recommend fishing on the Sligo II , they play music that will knock your socks off one minute & will also ease your soul a song later. Thanks again for the great trip gents it was a pleasure

great trip with an unexpected surprise
3/4 Day Trip – Striped Bass on November 24, 20256 adults

Landed a number of striper before we hooked a bluefin tuna in the 250-300 range. fought the bluefin for over 1 hour before we all decided to end the fight. we had many clear shots to gaff or dart, but it is not in season so we were trying to remove the hook. Kudos to the crew for their knots and well kept equipment. A Penn 16 reel with 60 pound test managed. and thanks for Paul taking some turns as no way i could fight that fish along. amazing day and great job by the crew. for experienced fisherman - The Knots held. This crew knows how to fish. THANKS GUYS. Stephen

Captain Anthony O'Donnell has been fishing for as long as he could remember. Born and raised in New Jersey, Anthony had his first offshore Tuna trip when he wasn't even 10 yet. Fishing is in his blood and he especially enjoys teaching others. Having captained various boats for a decade, Anthony started his own business a couple of years ago and has never looked back.
