Half Day Fishing Trip With Mudslides
3 Hour Trip – Morning on July 1, 2026
This was our second year going fishing with Mudslides, and we hope to be back every year. Incredible captain and first mate, and perfect for family trips with kids. Our boys had a blast. Thanks again for a memorable experience, already looking forward to next summer!

GREA TRIP! EVEN BETTER CAPTAIN
6-Hour Fishing Trip - Inshore on May 2, 2026 • 6 adults
Couldn’t recommend captain Steve enough, we went as a group of six and an early season striper trip quickly turned into fish up to 42”. Captain Steve was very passionate, and knowledgeable. Clean boat, brand new equipment. Thanks Captain Steve!

Such a great group of guys and really liked having you all aboard. As far as the fishing, that was incredible, I definitely didn't expect that. Please come back any time and lets get that Tuna Trip planned for later in the season. Oh, and thanks for breaking in all the new gear. I guess it works pretty well. Can't wait to get back out tomorrow.
