Tuna or Striper the young capt., Elias was awesome and put us on the fish!

I’ve been wanting to take my kids on a deep sea fishing charter for a while now, so we were looking around and found the Ledge Runner with Captain Elias. He’s a young captain but very good at what he does! Within the first 30 minutes we got on to striper bass. He put us on some nice schools of haddock, sand sharks, some cusks, red fish, even some pollock, and the biggest fish of the day was a 6 foot Port Beagle- which is supposed to be good eating as I was told from the locals but it snapped the line. Still really fun to reel in though. If you are looking for a charter right now, I highly recommend going with this one! Cannot wait to book another charter with Elias!

My wife and two teenagers had the best fishing day of our lives on June 11, 2024 with Capt. Eli. He skillfully positioned us in the middle of a school of large striped bass. Within minutes of putting out the first live mackerel my wife hooked into a 36’ striper. That was the smallest fish we caught that day. The largest was 47’ . Frequently we had a double hookup. Not more than 5 minutes passed before Eli had us in another school of stripers. My daughter was fishing like a pro after fighting her 4th fish of the day. We caught more than 20 fish in 3 hours. Artificial lures were just as effective as live bait. We were extremely fortunate to have booked with Capt. Eli who consistently had his eyes on the depth gauge while baiting a line or netting a fish or taking our photos. Next time do as we did - don’t go fishing with Capt. Eli. Instead go catching with him. Aloha from his appreciative guests from Hawai’i. Dennis, Jolie, Grace, Raymond
