This trip will be a all dayer . We will head out early in the morning hang a right at the seabury and run about 14 miles. At that point in time we will drop our rigs in trolling for whatever might bite which are blue fish Spanish mackerel false albacore and then slowly head out off the beach where the fish get bigger. We will end up on a couple racks and on a pile of rocks searching for some of the best fish that you can eat and let's don't forget looking for a good fight. This will be a 10-hour

We stay in the calm waters of the sound or depending on the weather, will head out into the ocean, catching drum, speckled trout, flounder, spanish mackeral and whatever else the ocean might bring us that day.

Capt Matt is the man!
5/5
On a day when no one was catching much of anything Capt Matt put us on a boat load of Mai and an Amberjack. Knowledge Captain that shares his fishing wisdom and is very laid back. Toilet is a huge plus and he even provides water and has rain jackets if necessary. Definitely recommend Capt Matt for both the novice and experienced fisherman.

Awesome day on Under Pressure
5/5
From the moment we left the dock, the action didn’t stop. We hooked into two Wahoo on the way out and added two more before noon. The variety was incredible—we also brought in Amberjack, Mahi, and a beautiful Barracuda. Captain JT put us right on the fish, and first mate Josh worked tirelessly to keep the lines tight and the excitement high.
If you’re serious about catching fish and having an unforgettable trip, Under Pressure is the boat to book.
