We fished all morning. Had our limit o f striped sea bass just less than 1 1/2 hours after we were at the fishing grounds.ย Fished the remainder of the time doing catch and release. A great day, very knowledgeable Captain and first mate.ย Iโm planning on going back sometime in the future and chartering Bonita II for another day of fishing and itโs probably going to be for tuna. Just a wonderful experience.
Captain Tim monitored the weather and fishing reports ahead of our trip. He kept us well informed and let us know what to expect. When we got on the water, he found the fish and kept us on them all day! Will definitely be booking with him again next year
Captain and crew were both wonderful to deal with, professional.. engaging.. and just fun to talk to. On a single 5-hour half day trip.. we caught striped bassโฆ Flukeโฆ Mackerel.. sea Robin.. a squid.. black bass and others! I booked based on price and availability and in the future I will book again with him because it was so pleasant. I would definitely do this trip again.
Captain Tim knows where the fish are and first mate Chris makes sure you reel them in! These guys were awesome! We met our limit and kept fishing for the enjoyment. The only downer was we broke a handle on the reel and the replacement they had on the boat was the wrong size. But that didnโt stop them or us, we went to trolling and reeled in a quad, 2 triples, 2 doubles and a few singles on an umbrella rig. We will definitely be booking another trip next year. Tons of stripers and 2 blue.
Captain and first mate are genuinely good people.ย Captain knows how and where to find the fish.ย Caught our quota of striped bass in no time and then plenty of sea bass.ย Top rate operation with lots of fish action and lots of fun.ย Will not be disappointed!ย This was first trip with Bonita II and already planning next!
