We had the most amazing time. The Captain and crew were outstanding. We had the most perfect day for fishing. We hauled fish in consistently all day. Recommend them hands down. We will be booking again!
This fishing trip was awesome!!! Best 50th birthday present for my husband!! Captain Nick and First Mate Jacob were extremely knowledgeable and fantastic teachers!!! We were a little worried things might be difficult due to windy weather but they expertly found us a spot to catch mackerel for bait and then steered us over to a secret spot where it was fish on!!!! Each of us caught huge striped bass and proud to say me, the wifey, caught the biggest fish, a 43” monster!!! We all had so much fun and will never forget this once in a lifetime experience!!! Thank you Captain Nick and Jacob!!!
Captain Nick and Jacop were great from beginning to end. There wasn't anything they could have done to make a better experience. They worked very hard trying to put us on strikers. With just a very short time left we landed a 26 inch. We at least hit our goal to bring a striper home to put on the grill. Nothing better than from the ocean to the grill. I highly recommend this fishing experience with Captain Nich.
Thanks guys! we enjoyed your company too! By the way the fish was 29. Hope to see you again next season!
Capt. Nick and Deckmate Jacob were awesome. Capt Nick knew exaclty where to go to catch some reds and haddock. His boat was easy to find, and Jacob kept our gear operating smoothtly. I Highly suggest using them for your next trip!
Trip was advertised at five hours of fishing. Actually did about 3 hours, since it took 40 minutes to get to the fishing spot and then also return trip. I've bottom fished before and it was in the bay in 30 feet of water. Not clear why we had to go out so far. Wasted some time and fuel. Caught some fish, but it was a real chore cranking in the fish from 240 feet. And just when we got our lines back at and to the bottom, the captain decided to move the bat to a better spot. We had to crank our lines back in before he could move. Imagine reeling in a line with a one-pound weight at the end that requires between 120 - 140 revolutions of the hand crank to bring it in. Quite a workout and not what we expected. And then the gratuity at the end - the captain required we tip the first mate 20%, which he claimed was in the "contract". It was in the advertisement as a not below, but was stated as a gratuity, not as a required payment. Will probably not use this boat again.
Yup you have to drive the boat to the fishing grounds! Yup it takes 45 or longer to get there! Yup we fish in 240 feet for haddock and reds! Yup all my prices include 20% tip for the mate! Everything you said is true!So I’m sorry that you didn’t do your research and can’t handle reeling a deep sea fishing rig. Deep sea isn’t fishing in 30 feet of water here in New England!
I brought 2 boys age 13 on the 5 hour trip and we had a blast! From the minute we dropped our lines in we were catching fish. It was exciting! We caught a lot of cod that were fun to catch but we had to throw back (a seagull grabbed one!), but better yet, we caught 8 keeper haddock and 1 big red fish! Can't wait for dinner! Captain Nick and 1st Mate Jeff were great with me and the boys. We couldn't have asked for better help and fun. Patty
Thanks Patty! We both enjoyed you and the boys company. See you next time!
