  We Had a Blast!

  3/4 Day (AM) on July 25, 2026 • 3 adults

  What an incredible day aboard the Grace. We really can't say enough good about it! If you’re looking for a fishing charter that delivers both an amazing experience and plenty of action, this is the one. Captain Tommy and First Mate Bret were absolutely outstanding. They were friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and worked nonstop to make sure everyone had a great time. They knew exactly where to find the fish, and thanks to their expertise, we were catching fish throughout the trip. They were always there to bait hooks, offer tips, celebrate every catch, and make sure everyone felt included and successful. What really stood out was how much fun the entire day was. There was lots of laughter, great conversation, and a relaxed atmosphere that made the trip feel like spending the day on the water with old friends. The boat was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, and it was obvious that Captain Tommy and Bret genuinely love what they do. Thank you both for an unforgettable day filled with great fishing, wonderful memories, and an experience we’ll be talking about for a long time. We can’t wait to come back aboard the for another trip. Five stars all the way!

  Perfect Birthday Fishing Trip!

  3/4 Day (AM) on July 8, 2026 • 2 adults

  Absolutely. Here’s a more authentic version: Headline: Perfect Birthday Fishing Trip! Review: Captain Tommy gave our son and his best friend an unforgettable birthday fishing trip! The boys caught fish all morning, and Captain Tommy consistently put them on great spots around the bay. They spend much of the summer fishing local ponds and the river, but this was a whole new experience. Thanks to Captain Tommy, they came away feeling much more knowledgeable about fishing the bay. Captain Tommy was welcoming, patient, and happy to share his knowledge while making sure they had an amazing time. They even filleted our catch for us to take home, which was a fantastic bonus. Colby, the first mate, was also excellent—friendly, attentive, and always ready to help keep everything running smoothly so the boys could focus on fishing. It was the perfect birthday adventure, and we’ll definitely be back. We highly recommend Captain Tommy and Colby to anyone looking for a fun, successful day on the water!

  More Than a Fishing Trip, A Great Day on the Bay

  3/4 Day (AM) on June 5, 2026 • 2 adults

  We had an outstanding experience with Hallock’s Grace Charters! The fishing was challenging due to a heavy presence of dolphins pushing the fish around, but Captain Tommy never stopped working to put us on fish. His knowledge of the water, persistence, and determination paid off, and we were able to bring home three beautiful striped bass. What really made the trip special was the atmosphere on the boat. Captain Tommy kept things fun and engaging with great conversation throughout the day, making the entire experience enjoyable even during the slower stretches. It felt like spending a day on the water with friends rather than just a fishing charter. A special shoutout to Colby, who was an excellent first mate. He was attentive, hardworking, and always ready to help, making sure everyone had a great time and everything ran smoothly. If you’re looking for a professional crew, a fun environment, and a captain who will work hard to find fish no matter the conditions, I highly recommend Hallock’s Grace Charters. We can’t wait to come back!

  hit the rock fish limit very quickly

  Full Day Trip on June 2, 2026 • 3 adults

  Both Captain Hollack and first mate Colby are great gus to fish with. There lifetime of experience helped put us on fish very early within the trip. The only down side to the trip was some boat equipment failed which eventually cut our trip shorter than expected, but Captain Hollack discounted our trip because if it. We would have loved to catch more species after our limit of Rock fish, but with fishing there are never guarantees. Overall we had a great tome and if I am ever back in the Deale/Shady side area, I’d book with these gentlemen in a heartbeat!

  Amazing trip

  3/4 Day (PM) on September 12, 2026 • 5 adults

  We had an amazing trip yesterday and caught a limit of fish per person. The Captain was a great guy and easy to talk to. The mate Colby did awesome and worked his but off. This was such a great trip that my brother in law on the drive home said that he would book another trip tomorrow if he could and that we will definitely be going back.
