I have been boating and fishing on the eastern end of Long Island Sound over 30 years. Having summers off from my teaching job has allowed me to experience the quiet waters during weekdays without most of the weekend amateurs.

    Amazing Day Fishing!

    3 Hour Trip - Weekdays (AM) • 2 adults

    Captain Jack is absolutely amazing! He is knowledgeable about the area, the sea and fishing. It's obvious he truly loves what he does. My grandson and I had a great day. We caught over 10 fish each and five different species and let me tell you if we caught nothing. It still would've been a great day. I highly highly recommend Captain Jack.

    Exactly what we were going for!

    3 Hour Trip - Weekdays (AM) • 3 adults

    We wanted a fun and relaxing day on the water with a more personal experience and Captain Jack did not disappoint! He was personable, knowledgeable and very attentive. The weather was perfect to match the experience. We didn’t want to be elbow to elbow on a large fishing charter and this was perfect!

    Captain Jack knew exactly where to find the fish! He did a great job with the equipment and the bait. We caught plenty of nice fish and had an awesome day on the water. Really special for my son and me. Thanks Captain Jack!
