This is the third time our family has fished on The Taco and we had a blast! Usually we fish with Capt Sean but this trip was with Capt Ben. I can’t say enough good things about Ben and his agreeable and chill attitude.  We were fishing with our kids and were able to satisfy everyone’s needs and requests. We started with the usual catching mackerel for live bait (a highlight for our 11 year old) then went back to the river to fish for stripers. On the way to our fishing spots we noticed birds diving and we decided to go closer to see if stripers were feeding, My 13 year old quickly grabbed the top water sluggo and casted under the birds and on the second cast he hooked a 29 incher! We ended up catching several fish using this method then found our hot spots to use live bait. Lots of hook up’s and lots of good fish landed. Every time we saw breaching fish or birds we changed to top water and had a great time. Capt Sean and Capt Ben are both knowledgeable and so prepared to fish any way you prefer. Great experience for our family!

Captain Sam and his Mate Wes were great. They kept us on the fish and poor Wes had a lot of fish to fillet. The day we were scheduled turned out terrible weather so he ask if we could go the day before. We had no problem with that and it was a great day with calm waters and somewhat warm. Next time I’m up from Florida I’ll be checking them out.
