Captain Joe is was an expert in his field even though the weather was windy the week before we were able to catch roughly 6 fish in which was better than expected other than that had an amazing time
Thanks Joe !!!! Hopefully we have your crew on for Stripers in the spring!
Captain Joe and his mate Josh showed us a great time. We have lived in the area for a long time and had fished the Duck Island Rhodes waterway a lot. Captain Joe took us to places we had never been and helped us learn to fish them. A very experienced boat handler and fisherman himself, Captain Joe used the technical information available to him to put us on fish with the right rigs. He knew just when to pull up lines and move on, covering a number of good places in the five hours we were with him. By the end of the day, we had a fish hold filled with several edible species, including a good number of sizable sea bass. Near the end of our trip we came upon a downed osprey floating on the water. Captain Joe took the time to rescue the bird and take him to a safe place. Quite a Captain, quite a day!
Thanks for the great review! Glad we could show you a few new spots in water you already know so well—and put some good sea bass in the box along the way. And yes, the osprey got a ride to the Ranger Station, where he resided. Just part of the five-hour adventure! Appreciate you fishing with us. Captain Joe & Josh
This was our second trip with Capt Joe and it was just as epic as our 1st trip!! He knows exactly where to be for each type of fish depending on the tide and conditions and boy did we catch a bunch of fish!! We started out catching Black Sea bass and honestly lost count of how many we caught and released. We also caught some porgy and sea robin! Had quite a few keepers. We then moved over to the “Rip” where we used some diamond jigs for Stripers and boy was that fun! Ended up with one keeper but we caught some overs and a few unders. If you want to fish light tackle and have a great time catching fish Capt Joe is your man!!! We’ve already booked our 3rd trip with him for later this year!
Wow!! 🎣😄 Thank you so much for the awesome review and for coming back out with us for trip #2! It's always great to fish with returning customers, and this trip definitely delivered the action. The Black Sea Bass seemed more than willing to cooperate—we may never know the final count! 😆 It was great to put together a mixed-bag day with Sea Bass, porgies, sea robins, and then finish things off at the Rip chasing Stripers on light tackle. There’s nothing quite like feeling a Striper smash a diamond jig and put a bend in the rod! Most importantly, I'm glad everyone had a fun day on the water and went home with plenty of memories (and a few keepers for dinner). Thanks again for trusting me with another trip and for already booking trip #3. I can't wait to get you back out later this year and see if we can top this one! 🚤🎣 Until then, keep those fishing stories flowing and save some fish for us next time! 😎🐟 — Capt. Joe
I would call it a successful day of fishing! Captain Joseph was very personable and knowledgeable and put us on the fish. His boat is spotless and very comfortable. There were just two of us. We asked to not have a mate since we’re very experienced. That totally worked out and Joseph jumped in as needed. It was an exhausting day of hauling in the fish and we will definitely be back. Thanks!
Thanks so much! Sounds like you two had a heck of a day—lots of fish and plenty of work at the rail! Glad the no-mate setup worked out, and I really appreciate the kind words. Looking forward to having you back!
Our trip wish Captain Joe and One More Drift was all we could have asked for. My son and I had a great time and we're catching fish almost immediately after a short transit out. Captain Joe made sure my 11 year old son stayed engaged and put us in position to catch a steady stream of fish. He wasn't afraid to change locations as conditions changed. Overall I'd definitely recommend One More Drift.
Thanks for the great review! I’m glad you and your son had such a great day on the water. Keeping an 11-year-old engaged and catching fish is exactly what a family fishing charter should be about! At One More Drift Charters, we’re constantly watching the conditions and willing to move when the fish do. We take pride in providing productive **Long Island Sound fishing charters out of Clinton, CT**, with plenty of action on striped bass, black sea bass, porgies, and more. Hope to have you both back aboard again!
Beautiful boat - clean, comfortable, well maintained, smooth, quiet. Excellent equiptment - rods, reels, tackle. Captain Joe was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive to our needs. Worked hard on our behalf for the duration of the 3 hour charter. Helped us catch lots of fish which he then cleaned and bagged for us. We packed them on ice, took them home, and had them for dinner that same evening. Delicious! Highly recommend for beginners and advanced anglers alike. Will definitely do it again.
Thank you for the great review! Glad you enjoyed the boat, equipment, and, most importantly, the fishing. Nothing better than going home with fresh fish for dinner that same night! It was a pleasure having you aboard, and I really appreciate the recommendation. Hope to see you back on the water again!
