Yesterday my family enjoyed an absolutely perfect day aboard the Crunch Time with TJ and Dave. Although my son and I had limited fishing experience, my wife, daughter-in-law and two granddaughters had nearly none. While Dave piloted from one fishing spot to another, TJ taught my granddaughters everything thing they needed to know. It was exactly at their level (12 & 16) and pretty soon they were hauling in fish.

The catch was nothing short of spectacular. As advertised for the “Kids” package, we were in calm water east of Montauk Lighthouse bottom fishing for porgies and sea bass equipped with a sinker and two hooks. Many times we got strikes the moment the sinker hit bottom. We had SIX times when there was a fish on each the two hooks!  We lost track of the huge catch and TJ estimated 50-70 fish among the 6 of us. They call it fishing, but today it was catching.

This trip was the highlight of the granddaughter’s visit and they had an absolutely wonderful time. We’re so grateful to TJ and Dave. The trip was worth every penny.

We couldn’t have asked for a better crew and a better day. Captain TJ and his mate, Brian, were super friendly and enthusiastic, eager to share their love of fishing and “tricks of the trade” with us. This was only the second time I’ve gone fishing, and the first for my young kids (7 and 4), and they both made sure that everyone was always having fun. We easily caught several pounds worth of porgies, sea bass, and fluke, and the captain expertly filleted and cleaned all of it for us. We ended the day with a delicious feast at home and leftovers that will last us the rest of the week!

We had the greatest fishing trip and highly recommend this trip.  From the moment we arrived at the boat, Captain TJ and Cristina were helpful, encouraging, experts in their knowledge and engaged and fun.  Truly helped us at every step of the trip. We caught a lot of sizable fish and the day was beautiful for us and our 12 year old son.  We watched the sun going down at the end while Cristina filleted the fish. For dinner we ate some that evening and have some in the freezer.  We recommend this trip without hesitation.  They are amazing and fun too. Thanks for the great experience, Captain TJ and Cristina.

I took my 3 teenage sons on a private charter so they could learn more about fishing. They caught fish every time they dropped a line and were even catching 2 at a time. TJ and Christine were great. They took the time to teach my boys and were very friendly and professional. Christine filleted all the fish for us like a boss, you could tell she really loves what she does. To top it off the weather was perfect and TJ was willing to adjust the time of our charter so we also caught a great sunset on our way back to the dock. We couldn’t have been happier, we had an amazing time. Great experience all around.

OMG!!  I don’t know where to start
