The captain put us right on the fish—big striped bass! He and the mate were fantastic with my wife and daughters, helping them reel in jumbo stripers up to 48 inches.

Had an awesome trip with Captain Jerry and his mate, Tim. We caught fish, and they worked hard the entire time to keep us on them. I’d recommend them to anyone looking for a great day on the water.

Captain Jerry and his crew took excellent care of us. They didn’t just help us catch fish—they took the time to teach us along the way. Well worth the money and highly recommended!

It was a great trip! Captain Jerry and his mate Tim were super helpful and shared plenty of fishing tips. We caught lots of sea bass and fluke—including a nice 22-inch one! 😄

Captain Jerry and Tim did an awesome job teaching four beginners how to reel in some big striped bass. It was a fun and laid-back afternoon on the water. Can’t wait to book another trip!

This was our second year fishing on the Teachers Pet, and once again, Captain Jerry and first mate Tim delivered. They know their stuff and got us on the fish both times. Highly recommend—great crew and a fun time on the water!
