Captain Diego got us on the stripers right away. We hooked a nice one weighing about 25 pounds almost immediately using a flutter spoon. After landing a few smaller ones, we caught another impressive fish in the mid-20s range. He had everything covered, and we found fish throughout our two-hour outing. However, the bite slowed down for some reason, prompting us to move to another spot. Although we didn’t fish for the full day, Diego was incredibly generous with his advice and suggestions, even offering assistance for future trips. He’s a great guy, an excellent fisherman, and overall, it was a fantastic experience. I’ll definitely use him again and highly recommend him to others.

I had an amazing experience with Captain Diego! We initially planned a trip for bass and blues, but due to rough seas, we had to change our plans. Captain Diego quickly found us the fish, and my little brother caught a 30+ lb striper right away! When the striper bite slowed, we switched to ground fishing and had a blast reeling in sea bass—there were so many bites! Captain Diego was fantastic with my 11-year-old brother, ensuring he felt comfortable and was able to catch fish. I highly recommend booking with Rogue Charter!

Captain Diego kept us on the fish throughout the entire trip. There’s nothing better than zipping around the Bay, watching the sunset while the rods bend from the thrill of a good fight. We landed some massive stripers and blues, despite the sharks being a nuisance this year. Diego is an excellent captain who knows all the best spots to find the fish you’re targeting. He’s a fantastic guy who made our time on the water unforgettable, sharing plenty of tips to help us improve our fishing skills. We can’t wait for our next visit!

Captain Diego is amazing! We had a blast and were reeling in fish all day long, ending up with a great mixed bag to take home. Highly recommend booking a trip with him!

It was a beautiful day with an awesome captain! Despite tough fishing conditions, Diego worked tirelessly to get us on the fish even when they weren’t biting much. We dealt with a lot of short bites and smaller catches, but still managed to fill our bag limit. He went above and beyond to ensure my father was comfortable and able to enjoy the trip. Five stars just isn’t enough—Diego’s a great guy and the kind of captain you’d love to have a beer with and chat. Highly recommend!

Despite the rough weather, Captain Diego adjusted the plan and started us inshore on a rock pile where we hooked plenty of tautog, with a mix of shorts and a few keepers. Then we switched to drifting for sea bass and flounder, experiencing non-stop action for the last two hours. Diego’s expertise and hard work made it a fantastic trip. Highly recommend him!
