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.

Capt. Tom has been fishing for more than 45 years, so it's safe to say that he's got plenty of angling experience and knowledge under his belt! He's a local New Yorker, but has fished all over the States, as well as exploring the plentiful fisheries of Costa Rica, Mexico, and Aruba. He decided to turn his passion for angling into a career over 10 years ago, and has been running successful charters ever since. His favorite part of the job is seeing his customers have fun, and helping newbies and little ones learn the tricks of the trade. He loves helping kids reel in their first fish! Your captain also participates in tournaments, and won the prestigious Brooklyn Shark Tournament in 2016. As well as this, he has experience of battling seriously big game fish – he once hooked a whopping 500 lb Black Marlin, which took him 45 minutes to reel in!

4 Hour Trip – Porgy/Seabass (PM) on September 1, 2024

Tom was a great captain and was very pleasant

VERIFIED

Myself and four of my friends booked this charter with Tom. He took us around to a bunch of spots where we caught small sharks, sea bass, porgy, rays, and even a puffer fish. Tom was incredibly helpful with baiting, and handing/filleting the fish. He had an array of rods and bait for us to use so we could catch a variety of fish. I highly recommend this charter to anyone.
