Bachelor fishing party
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…..

Awesome Trip with Capt Jay
Capt Jay put us on bluefin multiple times and landed a 400lb monster. All of us had a great time. Would highly recommend Dead On.

Extended Full Day Bluefin Tuna (AM)
Amazing experience!
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!

Extended Full Day Bluefin Tuna (AM)
Fish on!
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!

Striped Bass/Bluefish Full-Day
Fishing with Captain J
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!
