  a great day of fishing

  5 Hour Trip on September 23, 2026 • 2 adults

  Capt Ed Elliott is a very professional captain. His first mate was very skilled and very knowledgeable in his job which in-turn made it a very awesome fishing trip for me and wife. The ocean was rough that trip but Capt Ed kept us on the fish. Spanish Mackerel was the first 2 hours of fishing. Sizes varied but all nice size keepers. Capt Ed asked if we want to do some Shark 🦈 fishing, we told him, Yes. Capt Ed put us on the shark and my wife and I had a blast fighting them to The Lucky Strike, my wife fought a total of 3 sharks 🦈 (1) 3 footer and (2) 4 footer, I myself fought 3 shark 🦈 also (2) 5 footer and (1) 6 footer. If want a good fight go Shark 🦈 fishing with Capt Ed Elliot and his deckhand ,on the " Lucky Strike". Captain Ed Thank You for a awesome 5 hour trip. My wife and I will definitely see you again.

  Great Trip!

  Night Fishing Trip on August 21, 2026 • 7 adults • 3 children

  Our family had an amazing fishing trip with Captain Ed and First Mate Brian . The boat was spacious with an indoor cabin included and deck seating to accomodate everyone in our family. We were able to troll for bait fish and catch Spanish Mackerel and Shark during our trip. We even had the opportunity to see dolphins during our trip which the kids loved. The charter was family friendly ; great for both adults and kids. First Mate Brian was educational and great with the kids keeping them engaged throughout our trip. Thanks to Captain Ed and First Mate Brian for a great day on the water. Crystal and Shane

  See what had happened was...

  6 Hour Trip - 1:00 PM on July 5, 2026 • 6 adults • 2 children

  TLTR: Great experience, 5 STAR, HIGHLY recommended. 6 hours trip in afternoon for 6 people. 2 adults, 2 teens, and 2 pre teens (11 &8). everyone caught atleast one fish each. Crew was great!!! The long now... Want out. Captain Ed and his firstate, Brian (Mongo) we awesome. We have been on multiple fishing trips now and this was the first time we were asked what we wanted to do or catch. Sounds odd to us but cool thing as we want to eat what we caught so we focused on that. Started of with trolling. Picked up 4 nice fish. Then went to do bottom and got a ton of nibbles, a few on the hook, and a couple of nice keepers. Then back to trolling on the way in and pick up 3 more. We were beyond happy even though the first mate kept apologizing for not being more fish lookong to be hooked. The only low was the heat... we went out and the first 3.5 to 4 hours were a bit rough on temperature but nothing the crew could have controlled. This led to a few of the family members getting sick and our little one did not make it into a bucket. We tried to clean it up but the First mate refused to let us and took it on himself. 6 stars for sure!. On the way in the Captain let the kids upin the pilot house and gave a small but fun lesson is captaining a boat. Back pier side, Captian talked with us as the first mate cleaned the fish. The mate even showed the kids feed the pier pelican the scraps by hand, which they loved. We have a rule never to fish with same charter twice, but next time we are back... we are breaking that rule and going out with Lucky Strike again! Ed and Brian thank you all for a great trip and some great core memories for the kids!

  Sharks on Sharks on Sharks

  Half Day Trip on June 10, 2026 • 7 adults • 3 children

  This was a trip our family will never forget. we brought our parents and 3 young boys on the trip. Mongo, the first mate was fabulous! He was funny and engaging and let the kiddos even catch the bait fish. Each kid caught a spanish mackerel. Captain Ed, let us pick what we wanted to target for the day and the kids picked sharks. Captain Ed put us in the right spot, Mongo hooked ‘em up, and it was fish on! Took everyone to help get the over 7’ spinner shark on the boat. Not long after we caught a 5 1/2” black tip shark and a small dog shark. The fish tales will be legendary.

  “Bucket list” Catch- checked!

  6 Hour Trip on May 11, 2026 • 2 adults

  Wow! Shipmate Brian and Captain Ed were accommodating in working with our limited schedule to help us get the best experience possible! My avid fisherman, husband wanted to target shark, (my request was to catch a hammerhead) they delivered!And our daughter, and son-in-law caught their biggest fish yet! When spending several hours out on the water, a bathroom is a must for me, and moving out quickly to find great fishing spots, not having to spend all your time traveling-made the boat and knowledgeable, Captain and shipmate worth every penny! I will definitely be booking with them for our future fishing trips! We give them two thumbs up! And five stars!
