Captain John and his first mate Rick were both great! They were patient with us and our boys throughout the trip and were fun to fish with as well! They got us on the fish and worked hard to get us to our limits! We couldn't be more happy and will definitely go out with them on our next Erie trip!!!

apt. Clint and Mate Kyle made sure my wife—her first time saltwater fishing and a recent liver transplant—and I had an amazing trip. We caught plenty of fish trolling and bottom fishing. Clint knows exactly where to find them, and Kyle is right there, making sure everything is ready when you need it. My wife even got to see dolphins, just like she hoped! The Common Sense is a big, clean, and well-maintained boat—smooth, stable, and very comfortable. We will definitely book another trip with Clint and Kyle. Thank you both for an unforgettable and much-appreciated day on the water!

We recently had an incredible fishing trip that went above and beyond our expectations. The boat rental process was smooth, and the vessel was in excellent condition and very comfortable. Our captain, Stanley, was exceptional – his extensive knowledge of local fishing spots and expert guidance made the day truly memorable. Thanks to his skill, we had plenty of bites and a fantastic time. Whether you're an experienced angler or just starting out, I highly recommend this trip for a fun and successful day on the water.
