    Awesome Day!

    4 Hour Trip – Striper - 2 anglers • 2 adults

    Had an incredible day out on the water with Captain Tim and deckhand Dave—couldn’t recommend them more!! From start to finish, everything was top-notch. Tim put us right on the fish and made the whole experience fun, relaxed, and professional. We landed a beautiful striped bass, and Dave was fantastic all day—super helpful, attentive, and made sure everything ran smoothly. A huge bonus was that Tim cleaned the fish for us perfectly, which made the day even better. We then took our fresh catch to a local restaurant and had it cooked up for lunch—honestly one of the best meals you can have. If you’re looking for a great fishing experience with a knowledgeable captain and a great crew, this is it. We’ll definitely be back.

    Thank you for the kind review. I wish we could have put a few more in the boat.
