I took my dad as a gift for fathers day and i have to say ive been on a lot of trips with him over the years but this one was a standout for me. We caught more fish than we ever do when we charter and it all has to do with a professional crew. Tj and brian were great. Constantly on the ball whether it came to setting up the rigs or taking fish off for us. Captain tj was able to let us know within seconds when the fish were going to hit. Next time i go fishing its going ti be on this boat. We caught close to 20 sea bass but none that were keepers which was no problem considering the stripers we caught. We landed 6 but with constant action. 2 that were over sized 40lbs+ and 4 that we were able to keep. Brian filleted them on the way back and did a great job had some for dinner before writing this. I don’t usually write reviews to this extent but this one was warranted. Book crunch time if you want to catch fish!

Captain TJ is one of the best East End charter boat captains I’ve experienced.  I had my brother and his family out for LDW and we had a beautiful half-day catching fluke, porgies and sea bass.  Captain TJ was very engaged and helpful, knowing exactly where to go and when to do it.  If a spot wasn’t good, he moved us right away to one that was, and offered a lot of encouragement and support for my 10-year old nephew who had a blast!  Thanks TJ, we had an awesome day!

Both the captain and the first mate were intent on giving us an exceptional trip. We wanted to target larger stripers and they know how to make it happen. Thankfully the fish cooperated and we landed more than our arms could take. I was most happy with how much they wanted us to be successful. The boat is the cleanest I’ve ever been on and our group of 4 kept commenting on how friendly the captain and first mate were. We are already working on dates for another trip this fall run with Captain Ritner. Couldn’t have been happier with the whole experience.
