We had a great time, our group had everyone from beginners to experienced and there was something for everyone. We caught several types of fish and had some keepers that were excellent. The weather was perfect, the ride out to where we fished was lovely and Captain Don was fantastic to talk with. Everyone in our group would go with him again, including the guy who was extremely reluctant to go said that he would go out again anytime.

We have been doing a fishing trip every year with a bunch of colleagues- this year we chose. Captain Jack and his crew. What an amazing day - we gave up catching fish after about 75 of them - our arms were tired . The captain and Jack and assistant James were amazing - would recommend him any day - hope to take the grand kids with him as soon as possible. Well done Captain - please send us the pictures when you get a chance.

We had an incredible time fishing with Captain Jimmy! I brought along my 19-year-old son and his friend—both seasoned anglers—and all three of us were thoroughly impressed. Despite the windy conditions, the captain stayed on top of everything, constantly re-baiting our lines and adjusting our position to keep us right on the fish. We ended up with a hefty haul of keepers and released at least triple that amount. It was a style of fishing we weren’t used to, but Jimmy was patient and took the time to teach us how to properly catch tautog. They turned into a delicious dinner that night, with plenty of leftovers for the days ahead. Jimmy is not only a skilled captain but also a genuinely great guy, and the trip was an absolute blast from start to finish!
