    Highly recommended

    6 Hour Haddock Trip • 5 adults • 3 children

    We booked a six hour trip. Bill’s expertise showed. From safety to cleanliness to knowledge and skill. My grandchildren had the time of their lives. They caught lots of bait fish and landed three amazing striped bass. First mate Matt was wonderful with the children and Bill being a teacher taught the kids a ton of stuff, not only about fishing but about the science and history of fishing. Not once in six hours did my grandchildren tune out. It was truly a wonderful experience that I highly recommend for parents and grandparents who want their children and grandchildren to experience a most perfect introduction to what fishing for the big ones is all about!

    Response from Captain

    Was great to have James and the grandkids on the boat! The kids did a great job fishing and James was one of the most interesting guests we have ever had on the boat! Looking forward to having you all on the boat again!

    Half day trip for stripers with Captain Bill and Conner

    4 Hour Bass and Blues Trip • 2 adults

    My son (17) and I had a fantastic morning fishing for stripers with Captain Bill and Conner. We caught several big stripers. Bill and Conner were both super nice guys and very knowledgeable, skilled fishermen. Had a blast and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to catch a lot of fish. Overall - a great experience!

    Response from Captain

    was great to have you both on the boat! With any luck we will see you again next summer! GO SOX!

    August fishing trip

    4 Hour Bass and Blues Trip • 4 adults

    Thai was our first time booking a charter and we had a great time. Wine Down Charters showed us a good time. We caught strippers and they cleaned them for us and we made fish tacos that evening. I highly recommend taking the trip.

    Melinda was great to have your crew on the boat today! Have a great school year !

    August fishing trip

    4 Hour Bass and Blues Trip • 6 adults • 4 children

    This was a fantastic trip for all of us, father, son and four grandsons. The Captain was knowledgeable, personable and accommodating. Everyone caught fish, even the youngest, aged seven. We booked this as an unknown and could not be happier with the experience. All equipment was provided, it was turnkey from baiting the hooks to filleting the catch. It was a memory for a lifetime. We HIGHLY recommend. Thank you, Captain Bill!

    Response from Captain

    Thank you Arthur! It was great having you and the boys on the Wine Down

    Perfect Day with friendly, knowledgeable Captain Bill and First Mate Matt..Especially good at guiding our ten year old who is new to fishing. He was begging to go out again before we even docked.
