Over the years, I've had the pleasure of going on several charters with various captains, and without a doubt, Captain Connor from Retriever Fishing Charters stands out as the absolute best. Not only is he incredibly friendly and approachable, but his extensive knowledge consistently leads us to a successful catch. I've had the privilege of fishing with Captain Connor on multiple occasions, and each time, we've had great results. I wholeheartedly recommend Captain Connor to anyone looking for a fishing charter, and I'm certain we'll be booking with him again next season.

July 3, 2025

This guy really knows his stuff. We headed out to the bay in mid-July with a primary goal of going after flounder. In just three hours, our group managed to hook 30 throwbacks and land 5 keepers. What's impressive is that two people in our group had never tried saltwater fishing before, but Connor did an excellent job communicating with us and ensuring we found the fish. If you're planning a visit to the Jersey Shore, I wholeheartedly suggest booking a trip with him. He's an authentic and highly professional captain.

July 3, 2025

Captain Connor Brown is a true fishing enthusiast. Back in November, Connor guided me on a Striped Bass fishing trip, and he came well-prepared with all the necessary equipment. Whether it was fly gear or spinning tackle, he ensured I was perfectly set up. His instructions on how to present the fly or lures were incredibly valuable in helping me catch some impressive Striped Bass. When the Striped Bass action slowed down, Connor switched gears and took me Tog fishing. Once again, he was fully equipped and adaptable, willing to adjust tactics to get us on the fish. Despite his youth, it's safe to say that Connor is possibly the most well-prepared and versatile angler in Jersey!

July 3, 2025

This fishing charter truly stood out from the rest! Captain Connor's exceptional skill and deep knowledge ensured that our day on the water was a resounding success. His meticulous attention to detail and the use of high-quality equipment significantly enhanced our fishing adventure. We reeled in some remarkable fish and forged unforgettable memories that will endure for a lifetime. Don't pass up the opportunity to experience this outstanding charter!

July 3, 2025

My 4-hour bay fishing adventure with Captain Connor was nothing short of amazing. I started the trip as a complete novice when it came to saltwater fishing, but Connor's exceptional patience and attention helped me grasp the basics. His in-depth knowledge of the water led us to flounder and sea bass all afternoon. I had an absolute blast with Retriever Charters! I would unquestionably book with them again; it's a solid 10/10 experience!

July 3, 2025

I reserved a full-day excursion with Captain Connor, and it was fantastic. The boat was clean, and the equipment was top-notch. Connor's extensive knowledge kept us reeling in fish all day, making it an enjoyable experience for both adults and children. I strongly recommend it and plan to return before the season ends!
