Just A Toy Guide Service is owned and operated by Captain Robert Anderson. He's been an offshore fisherman for years but decided to switch to fishing in the bays recently. Captain Robert loves watching kids and people who are new to the sport catch their first fish. He tries hard to get everyone involved. Even if it's a wife that's only trying to tag along for the journey, he'll try to get everyone hooked on fishing.

    We had a Great time!!

    3 Hour Trip – Bay - 12:00 PM • 4 adults

    This trip was pretty special, four cousins starting a semi-annual tradition spending time together fishing! Captain Robert & his 1st mate Tyler kept it exciting and informative! Due to the nor'easter, low tide and time of day, we were at a disadvantage but we did manage to catch a keeper Flounder, unfortunately the Rockfish caught didn't meet the requirement's between 28"-31" but we will certainly head back out in the Spring of '27 with Captain Robert & mate Tyler, both were incredible! Oh yeah, we caught a Oyster Toadfish but immediately tossed that "Only a mother could love face" right back in the water!

    Reported catch:
    Flounder
    Striped Bass

    would definitely book again!!!

    4 Hour Trip — Bay Fishing - 7:00 AM • 6 adults

    Had a great time! Trip consisted of two teens, my husband and I as well as my 67 yr old mother. We all had a great time and caught fish. Boat had plently of room for everyone to fish and plenty of sitting room to take a break and rest your legs, did not feel like we were right on top of each other. Captain and grew were great! Captain was super laid back ( good energy is key for me!) and did everything he could to make sure we caught fish! Captain took us to different spots throughout bay and we used a variety of bait. First mate was very knowledgeable and kept our lines equipped and baited to ensure we were constantly fishing. I booked “Just a Toy” after searching through different captains and reading reviews, and had the best possible experince. We caught Tog right out the gate ( multiple) and then the flounder started biting and caught a few flounder. Overall would definitely book again and highly recommend!!!!

    4 Hour Wreck Trip

    4 Hour – Wreck/Flounder/Seabass • 4 adults • 1 child

    We had an absolutely fantastic time on our 4-hour wreck fishing trip! Captain Wayne and First Mate Tyler were both incredible and made the experience so enjoyable for our entire family. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and kept us on fish all morning! The boat was well supplied with everything we needed, and we especially appreciated having a clean, easily accessible bathroom on board. It made the trip that much more comfortable for everyone. Beyond the fishing, we really enjoyed the conversation, learning more about the area, and just spending time together on the water. You could tell Wayne and Tyler genuinely wanted us to have a great experience, and they definitely delivered! We had so much fun and are already looking forward to coming back next year. Highly recommend this crew and can’t wait for our next trip! 🎣

    Incredible experience

    2 Hour Trip – Bay • 3 adults • 1 child

    This was my 4 year old son’s first time on a boat and he caught his first fish. Both Captain Wayne and First Mate Tyler were perfect with him letting him do as much as he wanted to without pushing the limits too far when he got a little scared. We did a 2 hour morning trip and we were on fish the entire time. My wife also handed the first fish of her life and had a wonderful time even though she didn’t expect to ever hold a rod. In two hours we probably boated a dozen fish or so, with another handful that fell off or missed hook sets as my wife and son were learning. I’m definitely coming back again and would recommend it to anyone. It was enjoyable for me as someone who has fished for 34 years, my wife who never fished before, and my little one who has only ever fished with worm and a bobber and a kiddie rod. We also got to see a pod of dolphins which my son loved and the captain set the boats drift so we can see them longer and let me son enjoy the dolphins once we started to lose his interest.

    i caught a flying robin on my first cast. My son in law had a sea bass within 2 minutes. We both were catching something at the most 10 minutes apart. The conversation was fun and always laughing. The captain and mate were always there to help and give instructions. I would recommend a trip with them anytime.

    Captain and mate were great guys and fun to spend the day with. Captain Robert worked as hard as he could to get us on fish. Mate Tyler was absolutely nonstop to make our day perfect. Highly recommend booking with these guys. Very nice and clean boat too.
