    Excellent day on the water

    4 hour afternoon Striped Bass on June 17, 2026Β β€’Β 3 adults

    I took my 12 year old son and his friend out for a 4 hour trip. We hooked up with several species of fish including Pollock, Cod, Sculpin and a 40'' Striper. Captain Ira knew every spot and had great gear, was on time and made the whole experience a great time for the boys and myself. We also caught a ton of Mackerel which we used at bait. The weather was also ideal which made the whole experience even better. A great combination of experience, knowledge and of course landing fish made it a wonderful trip.

    Kids first time Deep sea fishing

    4 hour afternoon Striped Bass on August 14, 2026Β β€’Β 6 adults

    Thank you so much for making our kids first time out fishing on the ocean very memorable. They caught a variety of different types of fish and had so much fun doing it. The captain made sure to put us in spots that had schools of fish to make the experience exciting for the kids. They learned techniques for fishing out on the ocean which was a bit different then the fresh water fishing they have previously done. Thank you so much!

    Summer special !!!! on September 5, 2026Β β€’Β 3 adults

    I got sea sick wihin an hour on a 6 hour trip, first mate made sure I had a clean bucket continued to check up on me and asked if I needed anything. We didn't catch large fish although we got a chance to see a sunfish and shark. Most of our catches were small, the seagulls had a fest..lol. Maybe try dramamine the night before and day of for first timers. Captain Ira moved us multiple times with hope of a great experience unfortunately there wasn't any big bites. Ira and Erica were great host accommodating, educational and insightful with thier knowledge and well as experience. Check and verify numerous times that your booking date is accurate.πŸ˜†

    Excellent Trip!

    4 hour afternoon Striped Bass on July 24, 2026Β β€’Β 3 adults

    Even though we didn't land the stripers we were originally targeting, we had an absolute blast hauling in large cod, mackerel, whiting, sculpins, and more! Captain Ira has a great attitude, knows these waters inside and out, and is super easygoing. I’d definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a great day on the water and would absolutely book another charter with him!

    We had an amazing trip with Ira & Erica, who were super knowledgable & also great company. Their 3-hr trip is perfect for families with younger kids looking to fish together, but don’t have a ton of experience. we caught a huge variety of fish and even hooked a shark!! Thank you again for giving everyone auch an amazing experience Ira & Erica!

    Great experience

    8 hr Bass / blues / combo ground on June 30, 2026Β β€’Β 6 adults

    Wife and I took my teenage son and his buddy out for a day of deep sea fishing. Caught a bunch of fish. Boys were tired by the end of the 8 hours. Captain and mate were friendly and focused. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to get out fishing with friends or family. Probably not the best for young kids.

    Great Trip!

    Summer special !!!! on June 6, 2026Β β€’Β 4 adultsΒ β€’Β 1 child

    Had an awesome trip! My 7- and 14-year-old both had a blast catching pollock and mackerel, and the highlight was landing a 20+ lb striped bass. We found the fish early and stayed on them all day, which made for nonstop action. Great time on the water and lots of happy memories. We’ll definitely be back!

Great family day on the water fishing!!!!
Mackeral mania !!! on September 13, 2026 β€’ 2 adults β€’ 1 child

Erica and Ira are wnderful. Frendly, helpful, shared stories. I need to use a cane for balance and they met all my mobility needs with ease and so helpful. Lots of explanations of what were were doing and seeing. We had lots of rsin ,but it did not matter. Next time we will do a longer trip and go out further to see a whale and hopefull sharks. HIGHLY recomend you book now as they fll up for the entire summer.
