Caught stripers from start to end
6 Hour Trip – Bass/Blues/Flounder on July 16, 20252 adults1 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.

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!

6 Hour Trip – Bass/Blues/Flounder on June 30, 20265 adults

Took a family of five. Jason and Mason worked hard to put us on the fish. We caught stripers and flounder. Boat is in excellent shape, and we had a great day on the bay!

Amazing Trip on a Windy Day
4 Hour Trip – Bass/Blues (AM) on June 1, 20254 adults1 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..
