Ratings & Reviews Summary
May 14, 2025
The captain was highly knowledgeable and had a strong network of local fishermen to gather insights. Some of the sturgeon were massive and gave an incredible fight. It was an awesome day on the water!

My 14-year-old son and I joined Billy for a half-day trip on June 8th, and we had an amazing time. My son caught several sturgeon, making it a fantastic experience! If the fish weren’t biting in one spot, Billy quickly moved us to another where they were. I highly recommend this trip!

Due to current regulations, we couldn’t keep any fish, but we landed 20 sturgeon!

BJ was incredibly knowledgeable and easygoing! Although the fishing was challenging that day, he went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable experience. When the fish weren’t biting, he generously let us take home some delicious crabs, which he even prepared and delivered to us! We’re so grateful for this amazing day!
