Captain Anthony O'Donnell has been fishing for as long as he could remember. Born and raised in New Jersey, Anthony had his first offshore Tuna trip when he wasn't even 10 yet. Fishing is in his blood and he especially enjoys teaching others. Having captained various boats for a decade, Anthony started his own business a couple of years ago and has never looked back.

    INCREDIBLE TIME!

    3/4 Day Trip – Striped Bass • 6 adults

    You never know what to expect with all the conflicting fishing reports, but these guys PUT YOU ON FISH. This was our first time doing striper fishing on a charter boat - and let me tell you - this trip exceeded all expectations. The ship was very clean and the captain and first mate were excellent. The inside of the cabin is spacious and kept us warm while we were sailing to the right spot. These guys put us on fish within the first 30 minutes and we limited the boat on keeper fish by 9am! We caught 30 total! I would hands down recommend this boat and crew to anyone interested in striper fishing!

    Sweet ass trip

    Full Day Trip – Striped Bass • 6 adults

    Phenomenal trip on the water today, got into keeper stripers and a few overs. KC is an extremely knowledgeable captain and taught me many things over the 8 hour time span. Anthony is also a great teacher on and off the boat which is more than a young fishing crew can ask for. Super cool charismatic guys that know what the hell they’re doing ! Highly recommend fishing on the Sligo II , they play music that will knock your socks off one minute & will also ease your soul a song later. Thanks again for the great trip gents it was a pleasure

    great trip with an unexpected surprise

    3/4 Day Trip – Striped Bass • 6 adults

    Landed a number of striper before we hooked a bluefin tuna in the 250-300 range. fought the bluefin for over 1 hour before we all decided to end the fight. we had many clear shots to gaff or dart, but it is not in season so we were trying to remove the hook. Kudos to the crew for their knots and well kept equipment. A Penn 16 reel with 60 pound test managed. and thanks for Paul taking some turns as no way i could fight that fish along. amazing day and great job by the crew. for experienced fisherman - The Knots held. This crew knows how to fish. THANKS GUYS. Stephen

    Remarkable day of fluke catching. Sifted through dozens of shorts to grab some keepers. Most importantly another young man was introduced to fishing for the first time and he had the best day of us all. This boat creates anglers!

    Rough seas couldn’t stop us from getting our stripers! Captain KC kept us on the bunker pod from the moment we located it. Awesome day out on the water.
