Can't Wait To Do It Again!!!

"Had a great day on the water with Captain Paul! Boat was great and caught our limit of keepers! Can't wait to do it again!" Stacey P.

No Matter the Time of Day or Tide

Jul 5, 2025 Salem

People ask what is the best time of day to fish for striped bass? I tell them any time of day and on any tide whether it be high or low. Some days the fish are biting and some days they are not. That’s why it is called fishing.

This was a great trip for anglers with varying experience levels. Started hitting like crazy at the end of the four hours yet the Captain let us run through our live bait and we caught two more fish in that window. Got some nice filets and some great memories.

One of the best fishing trips I’ve ever been on. Capt. Tim and his son Paul were the nicest guys, went way beyond to make sure our birthday boy and first time angler had a lifetime memory.

I am not sure why the boat got a rating of 4 and not a 5. Your group brought three large coolers on the boat. We ask that you leave your coolers in your vehicles for the fillets you will be bringing home. Our boat is brand new, meticulously maintained, and has all state of the art electronics with two VHF radios, Garmin GPS with radar, depth and fish finder, and a stereo system with a great speaker system. There is comfortable seating, a private flushable toilet, lower bunks if you need rest or... More
