Our family had a terrific time on the Amanda Marie with Captain Mike and First Mate Lex. The weather was beautiful but breezy so the water was pretty choppy but we were never uncomfortable and the fishing was great! From our first stop we pulled in fish after fish and despite being relatively inexperienced at fishing, everyone felt successful. Mike and Lex were helpful and personable and cleaned and filleted our catch so that we could take our delicious haddock home ready to cook. Lots of laughs, lots of fish, a gorgeous day on the water, good family times. Highly recommend.

Really nice guys ... and on a hot sticky day Mike found pogies or us to fill the live well.  The trouble is that we were unable to really find “the fish.” The local spots around Eastern Point had a few pockets of schoolie (striped bass) sized fish but nothing approaching keepers.  I couldn’t help feeling we should have run out to the Twin Lights or a little further from Gloucester Harbor on the hunt.  Mike did his level best to try and find something a little more exciting ... but on a hot day, sometimes they are just going to hold a little deeper.

Mike was extremely adept at putting us right off of the rocks to cast to the schoolies. With a decent swell running, that requires skill.

I’d love to try again a little later in the season.

Great day with captain mike. Caught a lot of fish on a great day. It was a little rough but he made it all worth it.

We had a great experience! My 12 and 14 year old sons loved it. We thought catching the bait was fun but pulling in the big bass was awesome! Captain and mate very nice, helpful and really taught us how to fish.

We all caught striped bass and spent most of our time fishing rather than traveling distances to fishing spots. We also hauled in lots of mackerel to use as bait! Thanks, hope to come back again next year!
