It was a great day on the water with Captain George and Will! Caught several Spanish Mackerel and several Bluefish. Everything was taken care of for us… we were able to sit back and relax and just reel the fish in! Thanks
You were a great group, and we had fun fishing with you! We do our best to make the fishing experience a good one, and are happy to know it was that for you. Hopefully you are enjoying a delicious fish dinner tonight. Thanks for trusting us with your family’s charter.
Hit targeted fish almost as soon as we arrived at fishing grounds on a day when the morning charters had slow fishing....afternoon was perfect fishing. Top notch crew who did everything to accommodate a party with 3 young children new to fishing.
So glad everyone had such a great time. Capt George and Will are the best. Looking forward to having you fish with us again.

Ocean water had really bad chop…. we were getting thrown all around… we called it quickly to turn back and fish the sound. We still caught 20 bluefish and spanish mackerel. The mate was on point the while time.
So glad that we could pivot and bring in a nice catch! We will pass your message on to Will. He is an awesome mate. You were a great group, and we thank you for hanging in with us!
The captain and crew where great! We caught plenty of fish and got them cleaned at the dock. I would highly recommend booking! my son and niece had a blast!
Thank you for fishing with us. Glad everyone had a great time. Looking forward to seeing you next time
