Fall Stripers - Full Day
10/10 Recommend!!!!
Captain Derrick went above and beyond to keep us on top of the fish all day. He navigated us through rough seas and did everything possible to keep us comfortable. When the bite was slow, he made a great call to move us out elsewhere, and we had an insane last hour of fishing thanks to this decision. Most captains would've called it a day at that point. The bite was slow all morning, despite seeing fish all around us, and we had less than 2 hours left on our charter. Captain Derrick was determined to get us on these fish, and he certainly accomplished that. Can't say enough great things about this Captain and crew!!!

Summer Flounder (Fluke) - Full Day
Great trip, great deal, great crew
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.

Fall Stripers - Full Day
The reels were smokin all right!
What a great day! Was a little cold but we roughed it out. The captain put us on the fish and we put em in the boat. 5 guys went, 4 guys caught, and 3 fish came home. Couldn’t have asked for a better day. I would definitely recommend Smoke n’ Reel for striper fishing and plan on going a little bit earlier in the season next year with these guys.
