Jason Smith5.0VerifiedGreat Trip
2 Hour Trip - 8:00 AM on July 26, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 childrenThis was the first charter trip for my young boys age 8 and 11. They both landed fish within minutes of getting set up. We were able to land nine species of fish from flounder to trout to a few nice red fish. Catches at all three stops on our 2hr adventure, really enjoyed it. Would definitely recommend Capt Nick.

2 Hour Trip – Lunch Time on March 24, 2026 • 4 adultsWe didn't have a lot of time so Captain Nick was under pressure to put fish in the boat. Captain Nick is very experienced and knowledgeable of the species and did a great job with limited time boating near a dozen fish in a hours time! I accidentally booked a trip for 4 people and only had 2, Nick made sure to point that out to save us the additional $. very honest operator! we will be back!
