Paul and Dan were great! Super knowledgeable, quick to put us on the bait fish then head for larger bass. Our boat was so popular all the other anglers kept following us! We were able to land one huge bass and my little guy was able to have fun reeling in another before he broke off the line. It was a great day on the water.

My 3 brothers, Dad, and I spent the morning with captain Paul to celebrate my dad's retirement. Paul captained us out to a great spot off of Manchester where my dad dropped his line to catch a fish within 60 seconds. We ended up catching 15 fish that morning and Paul went out of his way to pursue other fish that were showing up on the radar. Highly recommend

Captain Paul did a great job getting us on the bait fish which was fun. But inspite of the chill and the wind, he also got us into some striped bass which my husband was able to reel in.

Paul and Tim had the hot spots marked we never went more than 5 minutes while drifting that we did not catch a fish, mostly haddock with few whiteing and dog sharks to mix it up. They both made the day so enjoyable. There is no dought the next time in Salem I will be booking a day on sea

This was a great trip for anglers with varying experience levels. Started hitting like crazy at the end of the four hours yet the Captain let us run through our live bait and we caught two more fish in that window. Got some nice filets and some great memories.

One of the best fishing trips I’ve ever been on. Capt. Tim and his son Paul were the nicest guys, went way beyond to make sure our birthday boy and first time angler had a lifetime memory.
