Ratings & Reviews Summary
May 31, 2025
There’s nothing quite like starting your trip under rain and clouds, only to watch the skies clear, the rain stop, and the sun break through as you leave the harbor. Calm seas and plenty of fish biting made for an incredible outing. Andy was a pleasure to talk with, bringing deep knowledge of fishing and the best spots. He even enlisted my kids as deckhands, and soon everyone was fully immersed in the camaraderie and joy of a beautiful day on the water, surrounded by great people and great fishing.

My 15-year-old son and I had an amazing time fishing with Jonathan. It’s a unique fishing experience, and we brought in a great catch. Perfect for families!

It was the perfect day for making memories. The fishing was great, though there weren’t a lot of keepers this time around. But Captain Jonathan never gave up, making the trip enjoyable regardless of what we caught. I would absolutely book another trip with Jonathan—the captain who doesn’t quit!

It was a beautiful day with fantastic results—Captain Jonathan got us right on the fish! He was incredibly patient with our mix of fishing skill levels, friendly, and great company. Our experience couldn’t have been better. I highly recommend Captain Jonathan!

Captain Timmy was amazing—knowledgeable and incredibly patient with both kids and adults. We’d definitely do it again!

Captain Jon really knows his stuff. As an amateur, I wouldn’t have been able to find the fish like he did, but I could tell he took us to the right spots. His boat handling was top-notch. He’s no nonsense and clearly an expert. Jon was professional yet fun and enjoyable to spend the day fishing with—an uncommon combination. My two boys and I had an absolutely amazing day! – Curt, Huntingdon, PA
