  A Great Trip

  5 Hour Trip – Striper / Catfish on oktobar 11, 2025 • 4 adults

  Chris was the best captain we could have hoped for! He was more than knowledgeable about all things fishing and made it a note to teach us throughout the trip so we could pick up some good information. Chris was very personable and overall a great host. He kept live bait on our lines and made sure to keep the boat in good locations according to the live scope. The boat was very clean, and the setup was very impressive. We had such a great time, caught some huge stripers and catfish, and made many fun memories! Definitely planning on booking with Chris again!

  Chris and his fishing trip is 10/10 all around!!!

  5 Hour Trip – Striper / Catfish on april 3, 2026 • 6 adults • 4 children

  Two adults, four children ages 9-17, and lots of fish. Chris is very knowledgeable, personable and talkative, caring, and extremely patient; and dont forget his funny side. He came prepared, prompt, and well researched for the best fishing spots for the day. We will be using him again!!! We caught striper, perch, and even a 5 pound largemouth bass. 🎣

  Took my dad and two best friends out with Captain Chris and had an absolute blast. He does it right which makes it easy and fun with a great boat, set up, and communication. Caught some nice fish and laughed a ton. Would absolutely recommend to anyone and will use again. Thanks for a killer time!

  A wonderful day on the water with Captain Chris

  5 Hour Trip – Striper / Catfish on maj 1, 2026 • 2 adults

  Captain Chris was quite knowledgeable, but very low-key and friendly and easy to be with. We caught a bunch of striped bass, even though it was the middle of the day when the fishing was supposed to be slow. We hope to be back with him in the future.

  5 Hour Trip – Striper / Catfish on mart 29, 2026 • 2 adults

  The Captain, Chris, was great. Very personable and knowledgeable. Took us to the first spot and we started catching keepers in the first hour of being out there. Very nice boat as well. Highly recommend!
