July fishing trip

10 Hour Trip – Offshore6 adults

Started off by having 3 guys trying to throw trebble hooks at bunk for the first hour or two of the trip which was pointless and just asking for somebody to get a hook in the face. trolled for a few hours and nothing. headed inshore to bottom fish. captain wasnt very good with the inexperienced guys we had with. I really didnt agree with his tactics for fishing

Response from Captain

Actually throwing treble hooks at bunker is a great way to catch Cobia and brown sharks. I try to get my folks to catch the biggest fish they can and that’s the way to do it. I’m sorry that you didn’t agree with my methods but I do this every day and have been successful for 42 yrs. as for inexperienced anglers, almost everyone who comes on my boat fits that description and they do well with instructions.let me see, we tried snagging and dropping, trolling,and bottom fishing. What more is there? If you had a problem, you might have said something so I could deal with it. I truly enjoyed fishing with your group.

    Wonderful trip on the bay!

    3 hr back bay fishing • 4 adults • 2 children

    We had a great time fishing with Captain Steve! My daughters, 12 and 9, enjoyed every second of it. We each caught multiple fluke! Highly recommend this experience and we will definitely be booking again next time we’re down the shore!
