We had a great trip with Capt Pete. I booked a 4hr trip for my 14 year-old son and I. It was scheduled for 4-8 PM. Capt. Pete was watching the weather and bite reports in the week leading up to our trip. He recognized that the fish were biting more after dark and suggested that we push our departure to 7 PM…if I was willing. We wanted the best opportunity to catch some big fish and were fortunately flexible enough to take his recommendation. He could have just as easily left it as a 4pm trip and we may not have caught a thing.
Instead, we labded several large stripers, including one that measured 44” and was over 40lbs.
His new boat made the trip enjoyable as well. There was some pretty good chop and winds early on. Not a drop of water came over the bow. So we were dry and comfortable to whole rine. Pretty cool lighting package and sound system for our late-night trip too.
Capt. Pete was personable, very knowledgeable of the waters around that area, and gave us the best opportunity to land some big fish…with great success. Highly recommend Capt Pete and Rising Tide!

Captain Pete delivered a great trip!  Blues at dusk, a couple of bonus giant weakfish at sunset, and the rest of the night chasing big bass…. The bass (to 39 inches with a bigger one lost well into a nice fight) alone made the trip, everything else was frosting. Great boat and gear, and Captain Pete was pleasant and worked hard xtra hard to make good things happen. I will be back!

I booked this surprise trip for my hubby’s 50th birthday. He and my son went and had an amazing time with Captain Pete! Not only was Pete incredibly responsive (and patient) with all my questions, my husband and son said he was so much fun to fish with, was so laid back and helped them catch some great fish! We will definitely book again with Captain Pete and Rising Tide Fishing!

This was our second trip with Captain Pete and holy cow it was fabulous! The captain is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. We caught so many fish and had an incredible experience. I can’t recommend his services highly enough. I guarantee you, you’ll have the time of your life!

Captain Pete is very professional. He stayed in constant contact with us before the trip and set clear expectations all along. He made every effort to help us enjoy a night out fishing in the LI sound. Outstanding experience, will be coming back.
