The charter operator canceled on trip date. This is an automated posting.
Had a good time out on the boat. I caught around 8 fish, 3 black sea bass and 5 flatties. All of them were too small to keep, but I was happy to catch them anyway because the goal of the trip was not bringing home dinner, but that would have been nice. I will be back soon.
The boat was good size, clean, and fit everyone comfortably. Everyone caught fish in my party. Not all were the size needed to keep, but overall the entire boat was successful in getting fish. The crew were all exceptional. So helpful, kind, patient, and personable. 10/10 would recommend.
Thank you for the nice review! look forward to seeing you all again next time your in Jersey!
Caught many Fluke but not large enough to keep. Got 1 to bring home & it was delicious ! Made the Classic French dish Sole Bonne Femme. Boat, Captain & his Crew were all friendly, welcoming & extremely helpful. Can’t wait to go back next month ! Highly recommend.
crew was great couldn’t ask for a better time! would definitely hop aboard again thanks guys !!!!!!
