    Awesome Father’s Day Adventure

    8 Hour Trip • 2 adults

    Fishing with Persuader Charters was nothing short of a blast. We booked the trip last minute, because another charter we had lined up cancelled 2 days prior. Luckily we found these guys. Our caption asked us at the dock if we wanted to go after slot size keepers, or trophy fish. Having that choice made me realize the day we were about to have. We decided to make the run out to north Block Island and chase the big girls, and we were not disappointed. Although every drift didn’t have fish, the fish we caught were very high quality which is exactly what we wanted. Multiple 40+inch fish with one 50 incher landed on the day. We were also able to land a cookie cutter slot Striper to take home for the grill. It really was a perfect day. The captain and mate worked hard to make sure we had a great experience, and I couldn’t be more thankful. Book the trip!! You wont regret it.

    A trip the boys will never forget!

    8 Hour Trip • 5 adults • 3 children

    My boys had the best day out on the water. great weather and the bite was strong! From catching fresh mackeral for bait and using them for those striper “cows” including running into some pilot whales. We got the best of both worlds, fishing and whale watching , it was an unforgettable day on the water. Bonus, the crew was friendly, knowledgeable, and super helpful! Thank you Chris, Mike, and George and of course Capt. Denny. We will be booking again soon!

    6 Hour Trip • 4 adults

    Great day on the water. Highly professional and friendly crew Mike and George. Going for stripers with Captian Denny aboard his 44’ fishing machine will not diappoint. Very comfortable ride and a pile of fish. Couldn’t have been better.

    Spent 6 hours fishing with Captain Denney and crew with my son and grandchildren. Everyone caught bluefish and stripers and I caught a Bonita tuna. Great day making memories and dreams come true. Will definitely be back. Had to throw some stripers back they were so big. My 11 year old granddaughter landed a 25+ pounder 39 inch with a little assistance. Great day thank you Captain Denny and Petsuader crew

    Captain put us on the fish within the first 15 minutes of hitting the grounds!!! Fished that spot for an hour or so landing about 5-6 oversized stripers. We they hit a few fish in another spot. Halfway thru our trip he said he had a great spot for slot fish. Having to stay in a 3 inch window for keepers is tough but we hit gold. Caught about 11-12 keepers in an hour run. Had to throw a bunch back due to limits but overall what a trip. Great Captain and the mate Chris was extremely experienced and always on his toes. Highly recommended!!!!!!!!

    Capt. Denny and first mate Chris were professional, friendly, and supportive of our newbie fishing family. Started the day with a jaw-dropping 40-lb. striper, couple more of those before moving on to non-stop black sea bass action. Caught our limit and a couple of porgies and sharks to boot. I have only been on maybe 4 charter trips in my life (MA, FL, ME, RI) and this was by far the best. Thank you, gentlemen, for a trip we will not forget!
