It was absolutely freezing when we went out with Captain Dana. We went for our honeymoon and he had a little gift ready for us. He showed us all around and was so kind. We did catch a striper and had a great time. Would recommend and we will definitely return!

It was cold and windy for their trip. But kudos to them for sticking with it. The fishing wasn’t great. They did manage to boat a bass. It was nice having them on board. Happy honeymoon!

We had an awesome time celebrating my father’s birthday! Dana was a great captain and put us right on the fish doubling up on some 40+ inchers on the first cast. He was a pleasure, communicative, and highly knowledgeable about the area - sharing some fun facts and conversation about the Gloucester area and history. Highly recommend. We will be back!

It was great to have Johnathan and his group on board. They caught on to fishing with live bait immediately. Hopefully it was a birthday his dad will remember.

Captain Dana, Knowledgeable local with a great backstory. He was inviting and he is a very patient teacher. I took my boys to catch their first stripers and they did just that by doubling up on( 2) 40 inch fish. I would recommend Dana if you’re in town .

It was a pleasure having Mike and the boys on board today. They did a great job learning how to fish with live bait. We were able to find a few nice fish despite it being dead low tide.

Tough trip, baitfish were difficult to find for the first time all seaaon. We did spend too much time looking for bait, however if we were going to catch large bass, live bait was required.

Had an amazing morning out on the water today thanks to Captain Dana. We haven’t been fishing in a couple years and this was the exact experience we were looking for. Captain Dana took care of every detail. We spent time at the beginning catching bait fish. It took some time to get the bait fish but we didn’t expect to get anything with the first few casts any way. He was very easy to talk to which is great when your out on the water for a few hours and answered all of our questions about... More

Tyler and his group of friends were a lot of fun today. Fishing started out slow, but we finally found some bait and turned it into a couple of nice fish! It was great having them onboard. I had as much fun as they did.

I love to include a fishing experience in my travel plans and I’m glad I booked this one! We drove from Boston and it was worth every penny. All the cards were dealt perfectly. Great weather, great bait fish, and great Stripers. We had two in our party and caught at least a dozen of these prehistoric monsters. We started out with a 35 in her and they only got bigger from there. Captain was a great guide and found a great spot that day. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

All the stars lined up for our trip on Saturday. Leslie is an experienced fisherman (woman) who handled the rod well. Both her and Matt adapted to fishing with live bait quickly, and the results speak for themselves. It was great having them onboard!
