Michael Bernert

Member since May 2021 Somers Point, United States
Background
Capt. Michael runs trips out of Somers Point aboard a 27’ World Cat catamaran. These waters are known for Flounder and Tautog and he will show you how to catch them, whether you're trolling or bottom fishing. With great knowledge of the area, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!
