Captain Chuck was awesome, he took us to a great fishing spot over a shipwreck, the kids caught about 20 fish, it was so exciting for them! He was a great captain and taught the kids about the boat, how to fish, and how to reel in their catches. At the end of the trip he even filleted our fish and packed it on ice for us. It was such a personalized outing, perfect for a small family, way better than any of those large group fishing boats. Highly recommend!
Thank you so much, Anna! I’m glad you and the crew had such a great time. It was awesome watching them catch fish and get more excited with every one they reeled in! I really appreciate you choosing Bottom Dwellers Sportfishing and taking the time to leave such a great review. Hope to have you all back out again soon, and hope you enjoyed the fresh fish flilets.
We had an incredible sunset cruise with Capt. Chuck on Barnegat Bay! I never realized just how beautiful the bay could be. It was exactly the reset my wife and I needed from our busy schedules, peaceful, relaxing, and absolutely breathtaking. Capt. Chuck was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience enjoyable from start to finish. We had such a great time that we didn’t hesitate to book a fishing charter with him before we even left. We can’t wait to get back out on the water! If you’re looking for a memorable way to unwind or enjoy the beauty of Barnegat Bay, I highly recommend booking a trip with Capt. Chuck!
Great time on the water and we even caught a few fish. Pleasure to have on board!
Had an awesome day on the water with Captain Chuck. From start to finish, he was professional, knowledgeable, and worked hard to put us on fish. He knew exactly where to go, gave great tips, and made the trip enjoyable for everyone on board. The best part was sharing the experience with my son who is almost 3. Captain Chuck was great with him, made sure he was involved, and helped create memories we'll both remember for a long time. We caught plenty of fish, learned a lot, and had an amazing time together. If you're looking for a knowledgeable captain who genuinely cares about his customers having a great experience, I highly recommend Captain Chuck. We can't wait to book another trip. 5 stars – a perfect day on the water with my son! 🎣🐟
It was a pleasure having you and your family aboard. Seeing families make memories on the water is one of the best parts of what I do, and I’m glad we could put you on plenty of fish while making it a fun experience for both of you. I truly appreciate your kind words and recommendation. I look forward to fishing with you both again soon. The little guy was awesome . Great Kid. Thanks for choosing Bottom Dwellers Sportfishing! 🎣🇺🇸

My boys (ages 10 & 7) went out saltwater fishing for the first time and had an absolute blast! Capt Chuck was awesome and took so many great pictures of the action. They caught a ton of fish, he was patient with my kids and knew the area really well. It was a memorable great experience for my husband and them! Thank you Captain Chuck!
