    6 hour fishing excursion with Captain Dan / Double Down II

    Full Day Trip (AM) • 6 adults

    My family was celebrating my husband's 60th birthday, and had a great day on our 6 hour excursion with Captain Dan. Both he and his first mate were very accomodating, adjusting the start time and trying several spots to ensure we caught something. It was so nice to have the boat to ourselves, and both staff did all they could to make the day special and perfect.

    Reported catch:
    Black Seabass
    Flounder
    Striped Bass
    Bluefish (Tailor)
    Response from Captain

    Thanks for the review. It was a pleasure to have all of you aboard. We're glad you enjoyed the day. Hope to fish with you again. Capt. Dan

    6 Hr Morning with Captain Dan

    Full Day Trip (AM) • 6 adults

    We had a great trip with Captain Dan on the Double Down 2 yesterday. They were prepared at the dock and ready to go when we arrived at 5:45 for the 6am charter. Dan and his first mate where very outgoing and we had a great time exchanging stories while we trolled out into the bay, they had us on fish within 30 minutes and the bite went on all morning. We came hone with 4 stripers averaging 30 inches. Plus a number of larger bluefish that gave us a great fight as well. Couldn’t have asked for a better day on the Double Down 2 and looking forward to getting back out there with them soon! I Highly recommend this charter!
