About the trip

We anchor up and use chum to target smaller sharks, 50 lb cownose rays, 60-120lb southern rays, massive roughtail rays, and crazy fighting butterfly rays. Our biggest was over 200lbs last year. There's also croaker, spot, whiting, sand perch, and others that lurk in our chum line. This is an easy way to fish without having much experience. Flounder drifting is also an option. We go after what's biting. 5 Max

angler's choice

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.

Captain John Foreman has over 2 decades of fishing experience under his belt, but only decided to turn these years of experience into a career in 2019. He became a captain because, simply, he loves seeing people catch fish! He believes that people have one life to live and should spend it doing what they love: and what he loves is the thrill of chasing fish and hooking them, especially alongside other anglers and guests. He's local to this area and has been fishing here since he was a kid. When he was a teenager, he could barely wait for school to end so that he could leave and get straight out on the water! He gives his best to put people on fish, and always goes for the catch. Capt. John makes sure he's always aware of currents, tides, and patterns, using these to his advantage, and he's all about safety, too. He treats every trip as if his own family is on board, and he is very easy going and laid-back. He has one main goal: to create memories that will last a long time!

3 Hour Bay Ray Experience on August 27, 2024

Great Captain, Great Crew and Great Experience

VERIFIED

I chartered this boat for myself and 2 kids (son is 16 and daughter is 11) for an afternoon charter. The fish were biting and the crew were SUPER attentive to helping us get the fish off and the rods back in the water. Cold water and a portable pot was available. I have chartered easily 6 boats and this was easily the best overall experience. I highly recommend and will book this boat again in the future.

Wonderful trip!

We had a great time on the boat catching rays and other small fish. My mother, sister and two young sons all enjoyed themselves. The crew was helpful and fun!
