Captain Dick was fantastic. We left the dock at 6am and we had our first striper and big blue fish by 6:45. He kept us on the fish all day long. There were 3 of us and we were all tired of reeling in fish by the end of the trip. Great Captain… very knowledgeable of local area and techniques. There was alot of boats out there and we caught the most fish by far…I would highly recommend him for your next charter.

This was, unfortunately, one of the most unpleasant charter experiences I’ve had. While the trip started with a friendly welcome, the rest of the experience was disappointing.

Fish handling practices were poor — fish were gutted alive, left in buckets of salt water for hours without ice, and most were not cleaned unless I did it myself. Despite my polite request to brain and bleed fish for humane reasons and meat quality, it was treated as an unusual request rather than standard good practice.

The worst part was when I accidentally dropped a rod overboard. I immediately apologized and offered to pay for the replacement (around $200), but the captain repeatedly berated me in front of my wife, sister, and two young nephews for the rest of the trip, making what should have been an accident into an embarrassing and uncomfortable ordeal.

Between the poor fish care, lack of basic hospitality, and the captain’s unprofessional handling of an honest mistake, this trip was a complete disappointment. I will not be booking with this charter again.

Had an amazing time with an awesome captian and crew. We caught 12 stripers and 2 bluefish in 2 hours. Glad i had other people with me so we could take turns on the rods and give our arms a break from reeling in fish. Cant wait to go again next year.

Great experience with this fishing trip. The captain and Mate were excellent and very knowledgeable about how to fish. Will book again with this charter and recommend this boat to all of my friends.
