    Fantastic boat trip

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM) • 3 adults

    Great 4 Hour Trip with Captain Paul in Majestic! We had an amazing time on our 4 hour fishing trip with Captain Paul. Caught multiple fish throughout the day and had a blast the whole time. Paul was super knowledgeable and helpful, gave us great tips and made sure we knew what we were doing every step of the way. He was also really accommodating and patient with us, especially since we were absolute beginners. Paul made us feel comfortable and confident out on the water, and he was just genuinely friendly the whole trip. Highly recommend Captain Paul if you're looking for a fun, relaxed, and successful fishing trip. Great for beginners and experienced anglers alike.

    PB Fluke!

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM) • 2 adults

    Paul was exactly the Captain you want; knowledgable, experienced, helpful, and creative! My son (13-yr old) and I had a fantastic trip with him fishing for Fluke, Stripped Bass, and Bluefish. He knew all the right spots, chased the bite for us and got the bait when we needed it the most. My son caught his first Flukes along with a PB (24-inch for him) and had some great fights with the Bluefish. We worked hard to get on some Stripped Bass but the Bluefish were more active. I hooked one that got away while kissing the boat. Hah! All in all, a trip to remember for my son and I, thanks Paul.

    Reported catch:
    Bluefish (Tailor)
    Flounder
    Striped Bass
    Response from Captain

    Awesome Trip & Awesome Captain!

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM) • 4 adults

    We had a great time and an awesome knowledgeable and experienced captain. Had great conversation the entire time and he was super accommodating. Some of the group was pretty inexperienced when it came to fishing and the captain was super helpful explaining everything to all of us. Great humor, super patient and knows the waters well. 10/10 experience and we and 100% recommend One Bite Charters and will be booking another trip.

    Reported catch:
    Bluefish (Tailor)
    Response from Captain

    what a fun group. the wind wasn’t on our side today and the water was full of seaweed from the storm the day before. these aren’t excuses, this is what you fished through. I’m glad you had a good time and I look forward seeing you out on the water again

    My son and I were on LI for a Lax tournament and were looking to fill the afternoon with some fishing. We had a fantastic time! Paul was friendly, professional, and extremely knowledgeable.

Another family outing

Aug 16, 2026 • Mastic Beach
Today i had the pleasure of taking John and his sons out. For a special treat he brought his father, an army veteran who served in the late 60’s in Germany. The picture is of a double header caught by one of the boys. Due to the age of the children no photos were posted. The way these boys fished they will be on the cover of a magazine someday.
