I started fishing at an early age, and started taking the sport seriously in my early 20's. Since then, I have spent all my free time on the water running my own boat, or fishing with others who enjoy the sport. I have spent considerable time studying and learning from established veteran fisherman on what techniques to use, and how to run a boat. I like to involve the crew if they like while on board, and I enjoy showing our clients how and why we use various methods to catch fish. We put an emphasis on making sure you will have a fun time while aboard our boat the 'Double Down'!

    very nice crew

    12 Hour Trip – Giant Bluefin Tuna • 4 adults

    went on a all day trip and all of my sons and my grandson got to feel how it feels to catch big fish as we hook up to about 5 or 6 big sharks got them up to the boat and then released them it was great time worth every dollar and would use them again. as the captain try everything he could to hook up to a big tuna but the fish just was not biting that day

    Response from Charter operator

    Over the past week we have had multiple trips all foe giant bluefin tuna and gbe action has been exceptionally consistent. We have had multiple hook ups with several giants ranging from 250 to over 500 lbs with some sharks thrown in the mix. We still have some dates available in August but early September is filling up which is prime time!

    Capt. Jesse had a charter this morning and ran out to the nearshore giant bluefin grounds and bagged this 86” giant bluefin! The charter group wanted to catch something big so Capt. made made it happen. Afrer pushing off at 5:30 AM Capt. Jesse headed over to Block Island, everyone grabbed a rod and helped hook live mackerel for bait. After loading the live well Jesse headed toward the area where the bite has been hot. Within 3 min of putting the first line out the rod goes off and 45 min later after everyone had a chance to reel, the fish was harpooned and landed! It doesnt get any better than this!

    My adult kids and I had a great day on the water (full day inshore trip) with Brett and Ethan (7/17/25). They work well together and keep a professional yet relaxed vibe. Got into some striper right out of the gates- 2 keepers! Made a run out to Montauk point- striper were tight-lipped out there but the dogfish kept us busy. Wind picked up a bit so we went back toward Fisher's Island. The bottom fishing there was a little slower but, hey, still way better than being at work! The count as I remember: Striper-2 Bluefish-1 dogfish-3 Fluke- 2 Sea Robin-1

We ran a full day offshore giant tuna charter yesterday snd treated our customers to a great experience. We had whales, feeding around the boat plenty of life all around. We missed a run off early in the day but got our second chance shortly after lunch when our down rod went off. We had the fish in the line for about 45 min before losing it 15 feet from the boat. Thats fishing as they say. The opprotunity to get to experience a battle with a giant tuna is happening now!
