    Couldnt have picked a better charter!

    4 Hour Trip – Bass/Blues (PM) on July 26, 2026 • 6 adults

    Amazing boat, amazing crew, even better fish. Left with 6 stripers , so many filets and a great day overall. Jason knew all the spots and was in constant communication with other charters around. Would 110% book again and I will.

    8 Bass and a Blue

    4 Hour Trip – Bass/Blues (PM) on June 28, 2026 • 6 adults • 4 children

    Another bullseye with Jason and Mason. This was our second year in a row with Capt Jason. These guys smoked it. We had 8 Monster bass on this trip and our 3 boys (13, 10, and 8) came home loving life with huge smiles! Thanks Gents!

    Caught stripers from start to end

    6 Hour Trip – Bass/Blues/Flounder on July 16, 2025 • 3 adults • 1 child

    Booked a 6 hour striper trip that started at 7am. My son nailed the first striper 5 minutes in. Little did we know that we would be hauling them in all day. We ended up catching over 40. Once we had around 30 at the 3 hour mark, Captain Jason asked us if we wanted to go bigger. He took us to a spot that was quieter in terms of boats and the big stripers were running. We doubled up on them several times including 2 at 43 inches that first mate Mason masterfully managed to help us bring in when the lines were crossed. We even caught a striper on a top water lure. This is the second year in a row that we booked at this time of year and have not been dissappointed. If you are looking for a captain that knows where the stripers are, Captain Jason is your guy.

    Amazing Trip on a Windy Day

    4 Hour Trip – Bass/Blues (AM) on June 1, 2025 • 5 adults • 1 child

    Took my whole family out with Capt'n. Jason and his Mate Mason today. The bay whipped up with some crazy wind but these guys knew just want to do to land some stripers in crazy conditions. I landed a 30" dinner plate striper and my 12yo son Ryan caught the biggest fish of his life with another (26" catch and release) striper. We also caught a skate and a couple of crabs. Capt'n and crew were a couple of really good dudes and they totally know the bay. On the way out when I saw the wind I thought we were gonna get skunked, but not with this crew. Highly recommended. Don't hesitate.. just do it..

    Great trip for first timers and experienced anglers!

    4 Hour Trip – Bass/Blues (AM) on July 19, 2024 • 3 adults

    Captain Jason and his first mate Justin were great. They are both experienced fisherman that know where the fish are. This was my son's first charter for stripers. They taught him the ropes and he bagged the first fish of the day. A 30lb, 45 inch striper a few minutes after the lines went in. The crew shared their experience in the local fishing industry, great white shark tales, and explained to my son what it takes to operate a charter fishing boat. I highly recommend this boat and crew.
