First Cast Fishing Charters was an awesome experience! This is was my first charter experience and I will definitely be doing it again! Captain Bernie provided us not only with fishing sites, but he made us feel at ease on the boat and was just as stoked as we were when we caught a fish. We will be booking again with him in the near future.

Capt Bernie was amazing! Very knowledgeable about the species we were catching and knew multiple places to catch them to ensure we were catching the entire trip. I only did the 4 hour trip this time but next time will be longer. Bernie is very friendly and overall just a great person. I didn’t have to bring a single item on the boat, he had everything we would need. Bernie went above and beyond to make my first ocean fishing trip unforgettable!

It was a pleasure to fish with Captain Bernie. Friendly, knowledgeable and skilled with his craft. His boat was comfortable and expertly handled along with all equipment on board. I would surely recommend Captain Bernie for a great experience on the water.
