Very helpful highly recommended!

Over 50 Fish! My three teenage kids and I went out on "The Meat Wagon," despite having little experience or knowledge of Cape Cod fishing. Captain Chris quickly helped us hit our Striper limit, and we continued to catch and release large fish for fantastic photos. Chris and his mate/father were professional, friendly, and excellent with my kids, providing guidance without any judgment. They were safety-conscious and made the trip enjoyable. I highly recommend them for both seasoned anglers and families with less experience. We had an unforgettable trip!
