    Best Fishing trip ever!

    4 Hour Trip – Nearshore 12:30pm on August 10, 2026 • 6 adults • 1 child

    This was the first time fishing for many of us, and what a great experience it was! We had such a wonderful time, especially our 9-year-old, who absolutely loved it. It was an experience we’ll definitely be doing again! Whalen was fantastic, so friendly, entertaining, and great with everyone. He made the day even more enjoyable. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend this charter to anyone looking for a fun day on the water!.

    4 Hour Trip – Nearshore - 10:30 AM on July 16, 2026 • 6 adults

    Great experience! Both the captain and first mate were extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and resourceful throughout our fishing trip. Three out of the four of us had never been fishing before, and they went above and beyond to make sure we had a successful and enjoyable experience. Their patience, guidance, and expertise exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend this charter and would definitely book again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Great trip, caught fish all day.

    3/4 Day Trip on August 19, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

    We had a great day on the water, caught fish all day. Spanish mackerel and Bluefish were biting and kept us busy. My kids had a blast all morning and learned a lot from Tom who was great with them. Our Captain Frank had us on fish immediately and with little let up. Thank again to the crew of the Sea Hag for a great day of fishing and memories my boys wont forget.

    Great experience

    4 Hour Trip – Nearshore 12:30pm on July 31, 2026 • 6 adults

    We took 3 teenage boys out for their first time they truly enjoyed it. Only wish they would have been allowed to cast they all fish on a high school team and it would have enhanced their experience but overall they had a great time and even brought their catch home with them.

    Great time had by all!

    4 Hour Trip – Nearshore 12:30pm on August 6, 2026 • 5 adults

    We started catching some Spanish mackerel, but they were a little small so we took those and used them as bait to catch some White Spot Sharks. We hit our limit of 6 before heading back to shore. The captain had us on the fish all day.

    Great Trip

    Offshore Deep Sea Bottom/Trolling on July 3, 2026 • 4 adults

    Started off kind of slow. By the end in was pretty great, we caught a 36 pound 45 inch long Dolphin (Mahi Mahi) which was pretty pretty good!! So good we got a citation for it. What a fantastic surprise birthday trip!

    4 Hour Trip – Nearshore on June 29, 2026 • 5 adults

    Captain put us on Spanish Mackerel almost immediately and we had a memory making morning. First mate was first class, I'd recommend this crew to anyone looking to catch fish and have a great time.

    Not exciting but caught fish

    4 Hour Trip – Nearshore on July 31, 2026 • 5 adults

    Captain and mate were great, boat is perfect, weather was great and we caught plenty of Bluefish and Spanish Mackerel. However, it was just trolling and no fight when reeling in so tbh it was boring. I was looking for a more exciting day. In any case, there will be plenty of fish tacos tonight!
