Capt Al knew what to fish for and where the fish were. He got us on the fish and was very instructive. We filled the cooler with big sea bass and a few porgies. Great fun, teenage boys said it was the best fishing they have ever done. First mate Eddie was personable, hardworking and helpful.
We had an awesome half day out with Captain Al. It was a perfect day, perfect weather, awesome crew. We never made it the full five hours,( motion sickness got most of us,) but we had a fantastic time catching beautiful striped bass. The little ones caught the best fish. Can’t wait to go out next year.
The weather and sea was questionable for fishing. Captain Al laid out the options (which included canceling) and then we decided to go forward for at least half a day. The first location had large swells, but captain Al maneuvered the ocean such that we could catch quite a few bass and blue. He found a second spot where the ocean was calmer and we continued to catch mostly blue. Then he found a third spot to fish for more bass. As the day progressed he and Kyle shifted our fishing to the best locations to find the fish. I plan on coming back to Captain Al in the future, true professional.

Buddy, daughter and I went out on a Birthday (my 59th…ouch!!!) 1/2 day run with Capt Al and mate Joe. We knew we were in great hands minute we stepped aboard…boat, gear and crew top notch and fully equipped for any/all catch. Had a great day off MTK Point…Al and Joe had us jigging and reeling our butts off and we came home with 3 keeper Bass (3 went back to live another day), 3 monster Blues, and a nice fluke. Had a few laughs too, as Al and Joe joked about following the birds- hence the line “you can’t catch bird” became our rallying cry! Great time was had by all…highly recommend Capt Al for a worthwhile time out on the big blue sea.
