    Great fishing trip!

    Half Day Trip (AM)6 adults

    Captain Nick and his first mate put us on fish and we had 29 in the boat within 90 min. They communicated well before the trip and both were friendly, helpful, and patience during our time on the water. it helped that we had calm waters and a beautiful day. While this day will never be replicated, I would recommend this crew for your next fishing adventure.

    Reported catch:

8hr trip tons of action

Aug 17, 2025 • Wildwood
We had a great 8hr trip today. Started off trolling limited out on blues and had 3 Spanish mackerel. Then ran in on the reef managed out limit of seabass and 2 triggers. The one trigger weighed in at 4.3lbs. Plenty of action the whole trip. We still have dates available for August and are booking for September. The inshore trolling and bottom fishing for flounder should remain good through September.
