Offshore with Captain Jay and Randy

6 Hour Trip offshore on July 28, 2025 • 4 adults

We took our boys 17 and 15 offshore fishing with Jay and Randy. The day was hot, but the Atlantic was calm and clear. We didn’t get into a mess of fish but we had some hits and ended up with a decent size Kingfish that will feed us for a couple of days! Jay and Randy made sure there were always lines in the water and would switch it up if we weren’t getting any hits. I can’t recommend these guys enough. They were great with the boys. Down to earth. Knew what the heck they were doing and easy to have a conversation with. When we come back to the area we will definitely be hitting ShayJay up again.

Great Family of Three Day on the Water

3 hour trip inshore/port - 7:00 AM on January 6, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child

My wife, eight year old son and I did a three hour guided trip with Jason. His father also tagged along and both were excellent guides. My son had a blast and wound up catching 15 fish from five different species. My wife and I both caught over ten fish each. We also saw the return of a Space X booster rocket, saw several dolphin swim by and even saw a sea turtle. It was a great trip and we would highly recommend Jason if you are considering a fishing trip to the Cape.

Good time, expected different fishing location

6 hour trip (AM) nearshore/jettys on October 24, 2025 • 2 adults

Jason was a great captain! He baited and casted my line 95% of the time as im not an experienced fisher. Wish my Dad and i would have caught more fish, but we still had a great time! The only thing is that my dad and I thought we were doing “near shore” fishing meaning the ocean shoreline, not the port shoreline. As the website read they go up to 5 miles off shore. That’s why we took a 6 hour trip because we thought it would give us more time to fish in different places in the ocean. And that was not the case. We prepared to fish for bigger fish one finds in the ocean, yet since we were in the port, the majority of fish were small. A bit disappointing but I guess I should have confirmed this upon booking. Just note to those looking to book, confirm all of this before you book your trip. all in all it was a nice day, and as mentioned, Jason was great!

Thank you for your review. I really appreciate it and I understand your concerns about being able to get out but if you noticed yesterday, it was really windy and it would’ve been really rough to even go out of the port it would’ve made for a very uncomfortable fishing experience

A great birthday present !

3 hour trip inshore/port on July 13, 2025 • 2 adults

I booked this trip as a birthday present for my boyfriend. He loved it! We had to pull into the docks at one point because of lightning, but we went back out after a few minutes to let some of it pass. Mother nature does what she wants haha, so we didn't mind. My boyfriend caught lots of fish and our Captain kindly prepared one of the snappers that my boyfriend caught. We had a wonderful adventure despite the inclement weather.

Great Fishing PM Half Day

Half Day Trip (PM) nearshore/jettys on August 17, 2025 • 2 adults

Great fishing trip with my 23 year old son. Guide was very helpful and we fished a number of different spots. We had an interest in space and did a brief sight seeing tour to a Space X rocket. We caught a variety of fish including a 22 inch flounder and two mangrove snapper that we ate for dinner at Grills restaurant.
