  If you want to catch big fish, this is the one!

  5 Hour Fishing Trip Inshore on August 1, 2026 • 4 adults

  Captain Joe has a strategy that is different from other fish charters. Many charters will bring you out and go for quantity. That is, have you catch a lot of fish which is of course, fun. But most all these fish are small or mid sized. Nothing to write home about. Captain Joe doesn't fool around. Instead of quantity, he goes for size. He has special spots he goes to where the big stripers are. And I mean big. With Captain Joe I caught a 46 inch striper! Over 45 pounds. A monster. We had 4 people and we all caught huge stripers. Captain Joe delivers on the big fish. Highly recommend him! We're going to go with him again.

  5 star! Great service!

  7 Hour Fishing Trip Inshore on June 15, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

  Joe has a passion for catching! He used many methods and locations to ensure fishing translated to catching. Variety of gear and bait onboard. VERY clean boat (and a nice potty). Joe and Eric (first mate) were both very attentive. Book these guys if you have a wife and kid(s) on the trip, and you won’t go wrong. Great conversation and great music. My son says, “Eric was very helpful.” Eric and Joe were both great teachers from basic to advanced and had a good feel for the skill level on the boat. I even learned how to make a dead fish swim like it’s live. Shhh, I’m not telling; book Joe if you want to know. These guys are constantly working to get on the fish and get them in the boat. Lots of great views thoughout the harbor are a bonus. Joe communicated when we booked, when the trip was near, and showed up on time the day of. Eric took plenty of great pictures and videos (which keeps dad fishing too). I’d book these guys again and again. Thank you for the great trip, Joe and Eric.

  Excellent Captain who knows where to find fish

  5 Hour Fishing Trip Inshore on June 24, 2026 • 4 adults

  The marina and boat were easy to find and the captain and furst mate were ready to go. We tried a couple places initially that did not produce but Captain Joe was undaunted. We found a spot behind an island and before we knew it we were on the fish! All 4 of us caught large striped bass and our sons thoroughly enjoyed it! Captain Joe and first mate Steve were on the spot with nets for fish and fresh bait for the next fish, plus they are really solid dudes. Would definitely book again with Captain Joe.

  5 Hour Fishing Trip Inshore on June 27, 2026 • 4 adults

  Captain Joe and his first mate Steve were incredible. We had a great time out on a beautiful morning, caught some enormous fish, and made some great memories. Joe had excellent knowledge of where and how to catch the most fish, and took the time to train those who hadn't fished before. He also did all of the butchering and provided ice for our cooler to take it home. Fantastic time, would recommend!
