A friend and I took our 14-year-old sons for a half day with Captain Vinny, and this was a great trip. We came back with fish both to cook tonight and to freeze for another day, which was lucky, but what made our time particularly enjoyable was Captain Vinny's knowledge, guidance, flexibility, and generosity with his time. He was perfect with the boys, providing them advice when they needed it and letting them experiment with technique when it was appropriate; he shared lots of information about the islands we passed and the harbor (but not so much that it ever felt like a lecture); he moved the boat several times to find where the stripers were biting; and what was supposed to be a 4-hour stint turned out -- with our permission -- into something more like 5+ hours. This group has gone charter fishing before, and we will again, and we'll certainly call Captain Vinny.
