Got a bluefin!

Didn’t see a lot of boats out, but Captain Frank got us on the fish - 3 lines with fish on at once! Came home with a 30 lb. Bluefin Tuna - beautiful and delicious! Great day of fishing!

Captain Anthony and Kenny were great - they took care of everything, were very safe, taught us and our kids about all aspects of fishing, and we even caught a bluefin tuna 5 miles offshore! Great time, and will definitely do it again!

Extremely knowledgeable captain and first mate. Hit some huge blues , striper and tons of seabass and fluke. Boat was a beauty and handled waves very well. Trustworthy and will definitely use again. Highly recommend. Captain was able to deliver on exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

I had a really great time for my first time bottom fishing up north. Captain Sincox ran us through all the things we needed to know before we got started and he kept us on a amazing bite the whole trip, I think we all had a tight line every time we dropped a line in. Also he was very accommodating making sure everybody had what they needed, Overall a really fun time!
