my son and i made a last second decision to do a charter and it worked out great! Captain Vince and his son Dominik were great. They're super knowledgeable and very hard-working. We caught so many black Seabass. I had to stop counting. It was probably over 100... and a couple of Tautog. I highly recommend and will definitely use again.
Thanks for fishing with us Tony and Drew... you guys are welcome back anytime... we enjoyed your enthusiasm and commitment to keep on dropping them lines and reeling in fish!!!
When we arrived it was an easy location to find and park at. They were there and ready to go on time. Discussed safety. We fished for flounder the first half, caught a few. Moved to another area and switched gear, caught even more fish. They were great with the kids too.
Thank you for fishing with us, I really enjoyed meeting you and your family, keep on your very exciting journey exploring... I hope we get the chance to fish together again.. all the best, Capt Vince
Captain Vince was awesome, he took us right to the fish and did great helping our two younger girls. He was very personable and great to talk to. Vince and his first mate were very knowledgeable and made sure we had the best time. I’ll definitely book again.
Had a great experience catching tautog for the first time. Captain Vince and Mark worked very hard to get and keep us on fish. They were great at keeping my 10 year old engaged.
Thanks for the kind words, I enjoyed having you guys on the trip today... I hope to fish with you and your crew in the future...
Had a great time catching loads of fish! Captian and crew were friendly and made us feel at home out on the water!
Thanks Chad, I appreciate you guys, hope to fish with you again soon...
