    Memories Made!!!

    4 Hour morning – Striper Fishing • 3 adults • 2 children

    Decided to book a charter for my daughters 16th birthday. Dylan was our captain for our trip. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. He took us to catch baitfish which was an experience within itself. We caught around 30+ mackerel! We boated around for a good bit on a perfect day trying to find where the stripers were. We had a hard time at first but Dylan made sure to entertain us by finding a huge sunfish and monster sized jelly fish. Right when we thought that the mackerel where going to be our only catch Dylan caught wind of a different site where the stripers where. We headed in to that spot and that’s when it all happened. Thousands of pogey where popping out of the water where the striped bass were coming at them from below. Dylan’s enthusiasm went from a 5 to 100! He baited the hooks so fast and casted and had us cast too right into the schools of pogey. Instantly the stripers hit! Within 30-45 minutes we landed 6 and lost a few in some good fights. My daughter caught a 43” monster! I felt like the best dad on earth making her day. Dylan is clearly passionate about his job and we were lucky to have had him as our guide. For anybody who wants to make a memory of a lifetime book a charter with him! Happy fishing!

    Trip of a lifetime!

    4 Hour afternoon – Striper Fish • 4 adults

    How can I sum up a great fishing trip that involved so many positives? Well, I'll just say that Captain Chris Cobbett welcomed a family of 3 generations onto his boat like we were good friends from the past. He was very informative and worked diligently to provide us a great fishing trip. A lot of laughs were had! My family had a great time, as they have informed me of this on the road trip home. We all caught big beautiful stripped bass! A big thank you to Captain Chris!

    Response from Captain

    i cant begin to tell you how thankful i am to have been part of that memory .

    Captain Chris was determined to put us on fish

    4 Hour morning – Striper Fishing • 4 adults

    Captain CHRIS was determined to put us on fish. Hottest day of the year almost 100° and had a bunch of action to start. Got a little slower as the day progressed but the captain did all he could. We did not get skunked and had a great time.

    Response from Captain

    thanks gents . great day on the water.
