This trip went way over our expectations.  The crew could not have been more supportive of our fishing experience.  Everything was so well prepared during the entire 5hrs.  It was the most wonderful day out on the ocean fishing.  We will definitely book again…can’t wait to go out again

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!

I spent my high school summers in the early 1980s fishing out of Point Pleasant Beach on my dad’s boat. This summer I brought my wife, 2 grown children, my daughter’s boyfriend, and my brother-in-law to share with them the experiences I had growing up, and the Sligo II did not disappoint. I did miss the captain’s name (oops) but he did a fantastic job throughout the morning putting us on top of the fish. The first strike was within 5 minutes of dropping the first hook into the water. Over the next 4 hours, we continued to hook fish, both fluke and sea bass. He’d reposition the boat to ensure we were always well placed. Most of the fish we caught were below the legal limit to keep, so they were returned to the water, but we did manage to catch 3 that were above the limit - they weren’t the biggest fish, but they were delicious. The first mate was also very attentive, quick to step in and assist as necessary. My only suggestion is when families are onboard, do a quick check of whether anyone wants pictures when they catch a fish, even the small ones, before putting them back (maybe not every fish, but at the first one for each person). All in all an enjoyable time for us all - met my every expectation. Thank you!

My parents, bother,nephew, husband
and I had a great time fishing for dad’s 81 birthday. Crew was great getting everything ready, hooking
lines to cleaning the fish we caught. This was our second year we did this trip with same crew and had a fantastic time.

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!
