amazing day on the water!
5 Hour Trip – Striper Fishing on March 22, 20263 adults1 child

We had an awesome time on the water today. Captain Chip was patient, incredibly knowledgeable, and clearly very experienced. He had us hooking fish almost as soon as we got our lines in the water. We had a little lull in the middle of the day, but right at the end, when our time was supposed to be up, the fish started biting again. Instead of cutting the trip short, he let us keep fishing past our scheduled time. He was extremely helpful the entire trip, and we really appreciated how hard he worked to make sure we had a great experience. Highly recommend.

Great Trip with the Grandsons
5 Hour Trip – Striper Fishing on September 13, 20253 adults1 child

We had an excellent trip with Captain Chip. Specifically: - We arrived at the dock before sun-up, Captain Chip already had the boat in the water ready to go, live bait in the well, and the fishing poles set up to use. - Captain Chip had phenominal electronics on-board to locate / track the fish in the water (5-6 pannels at various points on the boat). - Captain Chip was VERY familiar with where the Stripper Bass were located. overall, we caught around 30 bass (note: we started doing “catch and release” after having 8 “keepers”. - Captain Chip’s boat was immaculate and well kept. in addition, he customized his boat for the best fishing experience - like 10+ fishing rod holders for the lines in the water. - Captain Chip did an surpurb job in staying connected, getting answers (like was the fish cleaning station open at the dock), and being quickly responsive. Overall - excellent trip and something my grandsons will remember for the rest of their lives. P.S. See video we took of a bald eagle grabbing a fish 20 yards off the front on the boat as we were fishing.

We quickly fell in love with Striper fishing and fished every weekend, year round. That passion has never let up and now I enjoy introducing clients to our fabulous fisheries.
