Ratings & Reviews Summary
June 5, 2025
Had an amazing time, continuously catching fish all day. The captain and mate were exceptional. Highly recommend!
June 5, 2025
Captain Sean had us on the fish in under twenty minutes. With a crew of three and first mate Chris keeping us active all day, the fishing experience was seamless. The boat, a true fishing machine, offered both shelter and ample space. Warden Sportfishing's professionalism and efficiency, coupled with an enjoyable atmosphere, make them highly recommended. Looking forward to another great day with the kids next weekend.
June 5, 2025
Captain Sean and Chris did an outstanding job today. Chris efficiently filled the live well with about 100 bunker with just one throw of the cast net. We started off fishing with live bunker, landing three fish before the action slowed down. Switching to trolling with four rods proved successful as we experienced consistent action throughout the bay. In total, the four of us caught 23 fish, including four keepers. Highly recommend Captain Sean and Chris on the Warden for a fantastic day on the water. Thank you!
June 5, 2025
Had an amazing fishing excursion with my teenage son and two of his friends. Despite stripers being a bit out of season, Captain Sean skillfully located the fish, ensuring a fantastic day. The captain and crew were friendly and patient, the equipment top-notch, and there was an abundance of bait. Eagerly anticipating our next trip!
June 5, 2025
The crew was excellent – the captain, knowledgeable and friendly, took us to fantastic spots where everyone caught fish. The first mate was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating to everyone. I'll be recommending this charter to all my friends.
