Our trip was rough with a NE wind at 20mph, but Cpt Welch changed up things that showed his local knowledge and determination to put us on fish. While we didn’t catch a lot, we were amazed that we caught anything is such rough conditions. Good inshore trip and we will be back for the inshore/near shore trip next year.

My girlfriend and I went out for two hours. It was a pretty fun trip despite only catching one fish. I enjoyed helping him catch some bait fish, hopefully the next client caught some fish on them! I appreciated feeling more like a fishing buddy than a client. Exactly what I wanted out of a trip, besides not getting on many fish.

We gave Captain John a wish list for the day and he more than delivered and kept us busy reeling in fish all day from the first minute we dropped our baits in the water (Triggerfish, Amberjack, Sheepshead, Tautog, and Black Sea Bass). My son also caught a funky looking Oyster Toad fish. He definitely knows the area and was great working with my 12 year old son. We will definitely be back with Captain Jon next summer.

My boys (ages 5 & 8) had an absolute blast with Captain John on the 2 hour trip. He took us to a spot where my boys caught about 10 small fish each and we caught a couple big enough to eat as well. John’s got great patience and he’s real good with kids. Highly recommend him for anyone looking to get their kids into fishing.

Booked a 2 hour trip to see how the boys (12 and 13) would hold up. They do a lot of shore fishing back home in PA. This was a perfect trip to “get their feet wet” on the boat. Next time we will definitely Do a 4 hour trip and work our way up to deep sea charter. Captain was great, he was very involved with the boys and they each caught a sizeable black drum and sheepshead along with a few sea bass. Highly recommend.
