Anyone who thinks fishing is boring has clearly never gone with Captain Tom LaCognata. We experienced a veritable Sharknato on the water. Caught twelve total, including some 150-pound-plus bruiser browns, a super rare hammerhead and a spinner for dinner (tasted like leaner swordfish). Everyone caught at least three fish, equating to around one every 45 minutes— a good day for stripers let alone the ocean’s apex predator. Tom and his team worked swift and tirelessly like an angling pit crew,... More

This was my wife and I’s first ocean fishing experience and Captains choice was the best choice. We caught quite a few fluke, some sea robins, one dogfish shark, and a large skate. If you are looking to target a specific species just reach out and they will advise you honestly abut the best time of year and honest chances of success. Wonderful people and we will be back with our children next time!

I took five 12-13 yo boys on this fishing trip and it exceeded our expectations! Tom was easy to communicate with before the trip, including rescheduling due to weather. His boat is comfortable and well-maintained. Most of all, he and his partner were so engaging and helpful in getting the boys fishing. We caught 23 sea bass so needless to say, it was not only a memorable day, but one they will remember for years to come. We felt taken care of the entire time. Thank you Tom!! We can’t wait to...

Just got back from today’s fishing trip with these guys. My family and I had an awesome experience with this crew. I highly recommend them and give 5-stars all around. Captain Tom really knows the waters and they really care about their guests. Despite today being a choppy day we still had plenty of catches. They were also so giving of their knowledge, experience and were so good with my two sons (age 7 & 5). Definitely go with these guys, you will not be dissapointed!

Took my dad out on a Father’s day fishing trip and we had a great time! Was a nice chill day of weather and we caught a lot of fish from flounder to skate and dogfish and skulpin. Captain Tom and the first mate were great with making sure there were multiple rods going at the same time and our baits were always loaded going from one spot to another. Thanks for a great morning of fishing!
