Capt.Jason and 1st mate were excellant guides,and very proffesional! My Family thoroughly enjoyed everything they did for us! We had a Blast catching 5 huge Stripers! They took us to very productive areas where we got allot of bites,near catches and 5 huge stripers!! everyone on board had a Great time!Thank you for the hard work you guys did to make it a very enjoyable experiance for us!

The name of the company Dead on Sport Fishing says it all! It was Dead on the exact experience my family and I wanted! We went on the 12 hrs charter for thw Big daddy Bluefin Tuna! We wasn't able to complete that goal but did catch some pretty large sharks which one fought just as hard as a Tuna. Jay and his helper made this experience one to always remember and itching to come back for more next time we are up this way! Just being able to say that even though we didn't catch any big Tuna says how awesome this charter is and was for us! I HIGHLY recommend this charter to anyone looking for the experience of trying to land a Bluefin Tuna!
We had an amazing experience with Captain Jay and first mate Matt. There are never any guarantees when fishing, but it helps when you got guys that know what they’re doing. And these guys definitely know what they’re doing. We spent the whole day on Capt Jay’s boat and were fortunate enough to hook up and land a beautiful Blue Fin Tuna. What a rush! It’s an experience I won’t soon forget. I’d go fishing with Capt Jay any day of the week. Thanks guys!

What an amazing day with Captain Jay . We got underway early out of Gloucester Harbor and saw the most beautiful sunrise ever . My son’s goal was to catch a shark and Captain Jay told him that will be easy and that.it was . I swore we had a great white but Captain Jay”s knowledge taught us it was a Porbeagle shark . He actually put us on a few huge sharks which were so fun to fight and release . We truly learned so much it was an amazing day and memories were formed . My son felt like he was part of the crew .. Thank you Captain Jay for an experience we will never forget . We are already looking forward to our Tuna outing with you and plan on making this a tradition . You are the real deal .. I highly suggest you take this charter I promise you won’t be disappointed..
Captain Jason was awesome. He keep moving around so we could catch fish. He definitely went above and beyond for the 6 of us. I’m planning on going out again on his boat and would highly recommend taking a trip out on the Dead On…..

Great day fishing with Captain Jay. Up early and out to fishing grounds to catch bait. Captain Jay had us in the perfect spot, marking fish most all day. Hooked up on a bluefin late morning. After approximately an hour and half battle we landed that fish which ended up being 96", 310 lb dressed. Captain Jay's boat handling skills kept us tight. What a great experience, definitely will go with him again?
Awesome trip out! Striper after Striper after Striper! Jason was wicked cool and informative! Already looking to book again! Will have a video recap! @AWA.Fishing (Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram)
We were around fish all day. We hooked up and landed a Giant Bluefin Tuna. Capt. Jay will put you on the meat!! Awesome boat. incredible fishing knowledge and all high quality gear were big parts of our successful day. Can't wait to book another adventure with Dead On Fishing Charters!!

Great day fishing with captn jay,his knowledge of the area got us on the bait first thing.after a run to the tuna grounds jason had us in the perfect spot,marking fish most all day.Hooked up on a bluefin after a short wait.after approximately an hour battle we landed that fish.captain Jay's boat handling skills kept us tight.what a great experience, def will go with him again🎣🎣👍👍
Having had a captains license on Lake Ontario for over 25 years I feel that I have a feel for what it takes to give clients a memorable day on the water. I think at times as fishing guides we forget that we are really in the people business. Don’t get me wrong, catching lots of fish is the daily goal but safety,convenience and overall attention to detail count a bunch. I’ve known captain Jay for 20 years and have spent countless days deer hunting,duck hunting and talking fishing with him. I’m a complete rookie at salt water fishing but Jay has had the patience to explain to me the ins and outs. I’ve only had the pleasure of fishing with him once but intend to book at least two parties with him this season. My final thought, stick with the professionals!

Thank you Kerry! It was awesome meeting you and your family, you guys were so much fun. Although I'm disappointed we didnt hook a giant BFT, it was exciting watching you guys fight off those sharks. We were this close ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ ... Good luck to your son on his future and safe travels! Jay & Scott
