We caught more than 100 fish the captain and the first make sure that we were following the proper were there every time we needed new bait or had to get reset They knew all the best fishing spots they were extremely knowledgeable. The boat was top-notch extremely fast got us in and out off the water extremely well I can’t say more positive things about this trip. They even let us bring our dog on board with us this was by far the best fishing trip we have ever taken if you have a chance to go fishing and we’re looking for our top-notch fishing and extremely knowledgeable captain book here.

Captain Syd and first mate Dylan did a great job explaining how to catch flounder using drifting, which was very helpful to our group that included three kids. They helped with the equipment and took care of the bait, which was great. We only caught three flounder, so they moved us to final spot where we were able to catch a bunch of other fish before the trip ended. Would definitely do this trip again!

Captain Syd and his first mate Paul were absolutely phenomenal. Not only were they extremely knowledgeable and professional but they made us feel like we were hanging out with our friends. They targeted multiple species of fish for us to catch and kept the positive vibes coming the entire trip. Absolutely loved the entire experience. I would recommend them to anyone who wants to have a good time fishing!

Syd is the best

Took my 3 kids (7, 8 & 10 y/o). Syd knew exactly where to fish and very knowledgeable. I wanted to help the kids but Syd was all over it. Baiting their hooks, helping them reel in, taking pictures... he was great (and extremely busy). Caught tons of Seabass on the inshore trip. Wasn't expecting to fish myself but that's what I did and it was the first time I relaxed fishing with 3 boys. We even made an impromptu stop to go clamming (at the kids request). Can't recommend him highly enough.
