    Half day Striper Trip June 16

    4 Hour Trip – Striped Bass • 2 adults

    Best fishing charter I have ever experienced. Captain Jim created a very relaxed and fun atmosphere. He is very knowledgeable and takes the time to explain the techniques used to catch fish. He had us on fish most of the morning. Highly recommend using him. Disappointed that fishingbooker advertised the trip as 5 hours but it was only 4 hours

    Out early, quick trip to the area to fish. On the fish quickly. Everyone caught multiple fish. Kept a couple to take back for dinner. Excellent trip with great fun.

    Half day striper fishing

    4 Hour Trip – Striped Bass • 2 adults

    Captain Jim put us on fish instantly and kept them coming so much we gassed with 45 minutes left on the trip. Easily the best charter guide on the cape and was an absolute pleasure. 10/10 will return

    We can’t wait to book another adventure with Captain Jim! We had so much fun catching striped after striper, 15 in 4 hours all over 20lbs. We learned a lot, too. I would strongly recommend Blue Bandit Sportfishing!
