Andrew SchaefferRepeat angler5.0VerifiedAmazing trip and will return
4 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing (AM) on August 12, 2025 • 5 adultsWe had a great time. Nearly had a full load of people (can have up to six, we had five) and we all caught fish the entire time. Capt knew where to take us to make sure we got our moneys worth. We did the four hour bottom fishing trip and came home with enough for dinner for a week. Capt and first mate are great to chat with, made us feel comfortable and helped us out the entire time. Six stars of if I could. We will definitely be returning and hope to get out on the bay. Thanks again!
Erin PorteRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat morning on the water in Solomon's
5 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing (AM) on July 9, 2025 • 4 adults • 2 childrenWe had a great 5 hour trip with Capt Thomas and first mate Jimmy! Bottom fishing was hot and our family caught a ton (30-40) of spot and croaker. Capt knew all the hot spots on the river. We then made it to a few spots to try for rockfish. Both our sons reeled in big dogs and we lost a few but that’s fishing! Thanks for a memorable day in Solomon’s island and a delicious freshly caught lunch!!

5 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing (AM) on July 1, 2025 • 6 adultsWhile in the area we looked book a fishing trip. After going through several on-line sites came across Lochjaw Capt. and Jimmy but us on fish early and often. We selected the 5 hr bottom fishing trip, we caught plenty of Spot for a family fish fry that evening. Both Capt and Jimmy were great at helping when it was needed and letting us take care of ourselves when we could.
Andrea Condit5.0VerifiedToadfish
6 Hour Trip – Rockfish/Striper (AM) on May 31, 2025 • 6 adults • 2 childrenWasn’t in the cards to catch rockfish but plan B worked and we bottom fished and had a good time catching perch, spot, croakers and a toad fish. Great captain and first mate. Learned the best time to fish is in August and September in Solomon’s island. So we need to book early with Lochjaw.

Lochjaw really knows what they are doing. We caught a full limit of Rockfish in the first half of the trip and spend the second half pulling in dozens more fishing off the bottom of the bay. Nice weather and a beautiful sunrise on the water were an added bonus. Would highly recommend!
Captain Loch put us onto the fish almost immediately and the fishing never slowed down! The captain and first mate were very pleasant and knowledgable, gave us tips, fun information, and a great over all experience. The boat was beyond clean and all the equiptment provided functioned perfectly. Would definitely reccomend booking with Lochjaw Charters!
Captain Loch and first mate Monica took my dad and a friend of mine out bottom fishing catching many great sized spot! It was a beautiful day on a beautiful clean boat with working rods and reels. Definitely will be going out with them again!
My family had a wonderful time. Monica helped with putting the bait on the hooks and was a wonderful host. Loch was welcoming and helped us find good spots to fish. I highly recommend them for your next charter.
Nicest Captain and crew. Loads of fish caught!!!! Great boat. Definitely recommend!!!!
