An incredible experience! We caught massive bluefish, and I wish I had worked out at the gym a few weeks earlier because pulling them in was quite a challenge. The bites were relentless, and it's a guarantee you'll be thrilled. It's also fantastic for teenagers – my daughter is still boasting about how effortlessly she reeled them in compared to me. I highly recommend it!

For our son's 10th birthday present, we opted to take him fishing and brought along his friend too. Captain Joseph and his daughter were exceptionally friendly and amiable. They were truly dedicated to ensuring we had a successful fishing experience. I wholeheartedly recommend them.

A phenomenal adventure! Captain Joe's expertise in locating and catching fish ensured a bountiful haul in a short timeframe. We reeled in numerous bluefish, a sea bass, and a striper. Considering turning this into an annual tradition, if not more frequent.

What a great time! We went out for the early fish today and it was awesome. Joe was very personable as well as knowledgeable. He knew exactly where to bring us to get some rod bend! He was very patient with my 9 y/o - who is already asking for a return trip!! I would highly recommend One More Drift Charters CT for a successful day of fishing.

we did not expect to have so much fun. This was the best fishing trip we have had as a family. I would recommend Captain Joe as the best choice especially if your bringing children he's all about safety.

Joe at One More Drift gave my family a great morning on the water. Fun, knowledgeable, and great with kids, not to mention his boat and finding fish. So glad we chose One More Drift for our charter.
