Mike’s terrific, you couldn’t ask for a better captain. My son is 11 and he’s never caught a fluke before, and he caught 9 and I caught 7. Probably half were 12-15” and the other half were 16-19”, so great quantity and quality. Mike knows every inch of the Mansaquan River and instantly drifted us into the right areas that were loaded with fluke. Awesome experience for a father and son who love to fish!

Thanks Dan! It was a blast fishing with you guys. If you hadn’t mentioned that Jackson had never fished for fluke before, I’d never think that was the case. He looked like an expert from the first drift. I’m glad you guys had a great father-son fishing experience. I look forward to having you guys out again!

Thank you Johnny! You guys were fun to have on board. The boys are definitely comfortable on boats and I’m glad their lines were tight for most of the evening!!

The goal was to catch fish for my 7-year-old - with the caveat that it was his first saltwater trip. Capt. Mike was very comforting and flexible regarding the trip accommodations. We caught a ton of fish and had a blast. Mike is very knowledgeable and helped answer no less than a billion questions from my inquisitive 7-year-old. 10 out of 10 would recommend.
