Captain Rob and his mate Jeff got off to a slightly late start, but they quickly made up for it with their effort and dedication. Rob worked hard, moving us around to find the keepers, while Jeff went above and beyond rigging lines, cutting bait, and helping my 74-year-old father—who ended up out-fishing the rest of us. We landed 4 solid keepers and released around 50 short fluke, keeping the rods bending all day. The action never slowed down, and the experience was well worth the trip up from Maryland. I’ll definitely be booking with them again.

The captain worked hard to put us on fluke, even on a tough day when the bites were scarce. He ran all over New Jersey waters to give us the best chance at success, and it paid off. Highly recommend this trip!

Captain Robbie went above and beyond to make sure our family’s annual trip was a success. We traveled from different parts of the US for this experience, and it turned out to be amazing. CPT Robbie and first mate Jeff, I’m truly grateful for the exceptional service you provided. Book this trip—you won’t be disappointed!

Best Father’s Day ever! Clean boat, very personable, knowledgeable and just fun guys to spend the day with! Capt. Robbie knew the exact spot to catch what we were looking for and made sure we caught a ton! Can’t say enough good things about this crew. No need to go anywhere else, I will definitely be back.

We had an awesome trip with Capt. Robbie and Mate Nick. We caught our limit of big sea bass and several nice-sized fluke. They were very helpful with choosing the right bait and re-rigging lines when they got snagged. They were also fantastic with the kids. Despite a storm kicking up, they got us safely back to the dock.

We had a great day and caught loads of fish, though most were undersized, with only a handful we could keep. Captain Robbie did his best, but recent thunderstorms seemed to keep the big ones away. We ended up running short on bait, feeding all the undersized catches. So, I'll call myself a feederman this time, but next time I'll be a fisherman. Big thanks to deckhand Nick for his diligent assistance!
