    Great day!

    1/2 day Light Tackle Trip AM • 5 adults • 2 children

    Great experience! Travis and Chris were both easy to communicate with and quick with responses. They offered us options to best fit our family based on the weather and what we were hoping to get out of our day. We had such beautiful day thanks to their suggestion. It was full of fun and memories. Unfortunately we didnt catch endless fish like we had hoped BUT we definitely caught fish! Chris was a great captain. Super social and knowledgeable. You can tell he really love his job and time on the water. Our 8yr old son was given the opportunity to sit next to him while he drove and Chris taught him about the different instruments on the boat, how they work and what to look for in the fish finder. If we are ever back in this area again we will definitely be scheduling with again!

    Outstanding experience!!!

    Kids Trip AM • 5 adults • 2 children

    We had an outstanding experience on this charter fishing trip from start to finish. Captain Chris was knowledgeable, professional, and incredibly friendly, making everyone on board feel welcome and comfortable. The boat was clean, well-maintained, and fully equipped with quality gear. The captain worked hard to put us on the fish, and his expertise really showed throughout the day. Whether you were an experienced angler or a first-time fisherman, he was patient, helpful, and eager to share tips and techniques. We caught plenty of fish and had an amazing time on the water. What stood out most was the captain’s dedication to ensuring everyone had a great experience. The scenery, the fishing, and the overall atmosphere made for an unforgettable day. We highly recommend this charter to anyone looking for a fun, professional, and successful fishing adventure. We will definitely be booking another trip!

    We Caught Our Limit!

    Bottom Fishing PM • 4 adults

    Had an amazing time. Captain Travis was great. Extremely knowledgeable about the area, the hot spots, and what was biting. Boat was very clean and new. We caught a ton of Spot fish bottom fishing, and then shifted to live bait fishing for Striped Bass. Caught our limit in no time. So much fun. If you want a great Captain, nice boat and gear, and to catch fish, this is the charter to take. Highly recommend.

    Fantastic experience

    1/2 day Light Tackle Trip PM • 2 adults

    This is a first class charter. Our Captain, Chris, is experienced, hard working, and a really nice guy. They have the right electronics for this fishery and he knows how to use them like a pro. We caught probably 45 fish with 2 anglers. If we are back in this area I would not consider anyone else.

    Reported catch:
    Striped Bass

Great action on light Tackle. Jigging with lures we found a lot of fish around birds which is pretty exciting but most of our better fish came on side scan.
