Caught some nice blues on live bait. No striper action. Spent a lot of time getting to where the fish were.

Fantastic trip! Captain John and First Mate Phil were wonderful hosts and created a memorable experience for my son on his birthday. And what patience they had with a group of teens. Thanks, guys! We will definitely be back.

knowledgeable,courteous.he and mate were fantastic about everything,stories,food recomendations,service.will be booking again.

Captain John and his first mate, Mr. Rodney were amazing. We had a great experience and can't wait to return.

The captain and first mate worked hard to assure a great experience for the boys.

Captain John and his crew were awesome to us and we had a great time on the water. They knew what they were talking about and had us on some nice fish. Would recommend to anyone looking to have a good time on the water

Captain John and Phil were wonderful and very knowledgeable! We had a super time! Beautiful boat and marina. A full day would be our choice next time so we would have more time to get to the “hot spots”. Captain John even arranged for us to get a last minute reservation at one of his favorite dinner spots!

Our whole family had a great time on the Patent Pending with Captain John! It was the kids' first time on a charter and the Capt. and crew were both great at teaching them what to do and made it a really fun experience. Caught a bunch of fish too! Definitely regret not opting for the onboard lunch option, will definitely do it next time. Highly recommend Patent Pending and Captain John!

Fantastic trip today. Capt John and the mate were fantastic. Very knowledgeable and very hard working. The boat was extremely comfortable for all 6 of us and handled the less than ideal water conditions well. Most importantly Capt John and his mate were very good with the two kids on the boat. It was my greatest joy to see them catch so many fish, see their smiles, and they cannot stop talking about how much fun they had. Thank you Capt John! We will see you again for sure.

Captain John and first mate Ronnie were personable, efficient, and professional. Boat was clean, well organized and well equipped. We had a blast and caught our limit of strippers by 10:30. Enjoyed our boat ride, swapping stories, and feasting on our crab cake lunch. Mate Mr. Ronnie was super at yelling “fish on” and managing multiple reels for our whole crew. Appreciated Ronnie cleaning an fileting our 10 large strippers. What a perfect day! Thanks and looking forward to an October charter.

Hardly a cloud in the sky and warm breeze. My grandson caught the first rockfish within 15 minutes after the lines went overboard. His father and I had to play catch up. Captain John and Rick (First Mate) were knowledgeable, knew where to put the lines over and we had great conversation. We will be back.

Really enjoyed the experience with my son and two grandsons. Captain Whitman and First Mate was outstanding! Overall trip was. “4” only because the fish didn’t want to cooperate, but we caught enough 😀. Thanks for the memories, we’re going to make this a yearly trip!

Had a great time on the water with Patent Pending Charters. Captain John and first mate Ron worked extremely hard to find fish and boy did we find fish. Ron figured we caught , released and lost over 100 fish. Great experience.

Captain John was very accommodating for my brother and I. Hurricane Ida moved towards Maryland and Captain John had to cancel our trip but was willing to take us out on the next good weather day. Had a wonderful time. The mate was right on and made our experience terrific. I would recommend Captain John and crew 5 stars

Our group of six was full of beginners, Captain John and his shipmate Rick made this experience fun! Both are very patient and knowledgeable and a pleasure to talk to. We had a wonderful time learning from them and being on the water! Captain John even cleaned & fillet our catch at the end and we took it to the local Dockside restaurant were they prepared a delicious meal. Excited to book a trip with again!

The trip was amazing, and we were able to catch the limit on the stripped bass! Good jokes were passed around and it was a day full of laughs and fun! Everyone should book with Patent Pending and Capt. John!

He did an outstanding job. He made sure we caught some rockfish. His boat is clean including the bathroom! We look forward to the next fishing trip with captain John and his charter. Highly recommended

My family and myself had a wonderful time on our 6 hours trip this morning. We caught a nice amount of fish and we enjoyed both Captain John and his wonderful helper Rick. I truly recommend fishing with them and we will be booking again this fall.

These guys are MASTERS. His first mate Phil is also PHENOMENAL. My brother and I caught 50+ fish even on a hot summer afternoon. Learned SO much. Literally the Harvard masterclass of Bay fishing. Can’t recommend Capt. John & Phil enough! Absolutely repeat customers here. And John’s patent-pending “Spoonbrellas” are flat out amazing. I ordered 4 within 2 hours of finishing our delicious meal same night from all the fish we caught. A+++

We had a wonderful experience. Great catch, caught so much had to throw back. Captain John we would highly recommend. Thank you for a great day!
