Great trip, great deal, great crew

Summer Flounder (Fluke) - Full Day on August 29, 2025 • 2 adults

I'm a novice when it comes to offshore fishing and have never hired a fishing charter before but my buddy was up from South Carolina and he's a veteran at both. While I didn't have a great frame of reference, he said they were worth every penny. Super-friendly and super-knowledgeable. We came home with our limit of fluke and sea bass. You can tell these guys aren't doing it for the check, they're doing it because they love fishing. I live here and own a boat and these guys weren't trying to gatekeep spots and techniques. Highly recommended, already thinking about next trip.
