    (4 Hour Trip – Striped Bass Late AM)

    Amazing Experience!

    Captain Marcos was absolutely amazing and knowledgeable, he was patient and made sure we were catching something as we have had no success shore fishing. We caught so many mackerel, cod, and even 6 striped bass. If you are thinking should I do one of this trips, stop thinking and just book your adventure asap! This will be part of our yearly summer adventure.

    (6 Hour – Inshore Trip)

    fish didn't cooperate

    Capt. Craig was great and tried hard to put us on fish. We didn't catch but sometimes it goes that way. Everything else was very good- the boat, equipment, and so forth. Had we caught fish, this would be a 5 star review.
