Great PM Trip
Striped Bass - 4:00 PM on May 4, 20262 adults
My girlfriend and I had an amazing time on the water. We caught quite a few fish each and quality fish too. Captain Bill was a great guide and conversationalist. Will definitely book with him again if I'm back in this area again.

6 Hour Trip – Cobia/Shark/Pelagics on September 18, 20252 adults
I was visiting NYC and as an avid fisherman I decided to book a charter with bill and what an amazing experience it was. Scenic views, banter and lots of fun! I would very highly recommend bill to any fishermen in NYC. Boat has plenty of room and the gear speaks for itself! Thank you Bill!
