Captain TJ and crew were awesome and the boat had everything that we needed.  Made a poor decision to attempt to fish so quickly after hurricane Isaias blew through the area.  The bottom was so churned up, fishing for anything of value was extremely limited.  The Captain acknowledged the fact AFTER we had already left port.  Pretty much paid for a six hour boat ride.  We still had fun, but a bit expensive for four sharks and 30 Black Sea Bass where only 3 were keepers.  I’d definitely recommend the boat/crew, but make sure you do all of your homework to make sure you have a decent chance if catching something!

We were two families of four doing a PM half day. Did bottom fishing for sea bass and other species. Went about 8 miles of shore. Seas were running 2-4 with winds about 15mph. TJ keep us on the fish regularly, moving to different spots every 30 mins or so. Rash of was great keeping fish in the boat and fresh bait on everyone’s line. Rashod was awesome about cleaning the catch and quick about it. The boat was spacious and clean. It does have a head onboard.  We would definitely use these guys again given the chance.

We had a great day chasing King Mackerel and bottom fish. Action was fast on the early bite and we caught a limit of King Mackerel. We then switched to bottom fishing and had very fast action (mostly black sea bass). These guys really know where the fish are and the right techniques. Next time we plan to go out to the Gulf Stream.

Kids had a blast!!  Capt TJ and Mike constantly made sure we were fishjj in my the best spots.  Came home with some Spanish Mackerel, King Mackerel, Sea Bass and Dog Shark!!!  Mike was amazing with the kids especially when they were having trouble hooking fish.  Always managed to say something encouraging to help keep them engaged.  We are already looking at Gulf Stream options for next year!!

TJ and Mike were great hosts.  First mate Mike was very attentive to our party.  The trip out was pretty rough as the ocean was very choppy.  Several of our party were sick or nauseous.  We did catch 7 mackerel so we didn’t come back empty.  The only thing we were dissatisfied with was the “head” facilities.  The ad for the boat said it had a bathroom/restroom.  I specifically booked this boat because we had a couple of ladies in our party and the other charters I read about did not have restroom facilities.  Once on the boat, I found the head was only a portable camping toilet (at least that is what it appeared to be).  The seat was broken and it was situated on a “platform” in the bow of the boat.  Other than that, the excursion was an experience we will long remember.
