We had a blast going out with Captains Troy and Debbie.  We managed to catch 3 yellowfin tuna in about an hour, but they dropped off after those quick hits.  They worked with us to get the optimal amount of fish with our trip by doing some deep water bottom fishing for blueline tilefish towards the end of our trip.  We almost limited out with the tilefish in about 1.5 hours.  They managed to keep us on top of the fish for an exciting finish to the day.

We learned catching tuna and deep sea bottom fishing is a great workout.  We were exhausted by the end of the day.  Tuna fight harder than you think they can and pulling up to 10lb tilefish over 300 feet was more of a challenge than it looks.  Be prepared to have Popeye arms for all these fish.  Our son had the fun of pulling in two 10lb tilefish at the same time twice, plus another two smaller tilefish at the same time.

What a great day.  We will definitely do more trips with them in the future.

I booked our trip on fishingbooker and it was an extremely positive and easy experience!!
The day I booked I received a phone call and email from Captain Troy, this was very helpful with my questions and explained what my “crew” could expect.  I contacted Captain Troy a few times after booking and he was very helpful with my concerns!
The boat was clean and comfortable, Captain gave a smooth ride over ocean swells.  He also gave us humpback whale sightings!  That was a bonus to an awesome fishing trip!
The Mates on the boat were first class, Henley and Hunter were very helpful and went above and beyond to enhance our fishing experience!
I will definitely book with Captain Troy for my future off shore fishing excursions!
We had a party of six, the cabin was spacious enough for us to be comfortable during travel to and from the fishing waters.
Our trip was 5/23/21, that being stated, we tried for tuna but they were not hitting.  Captain Troy made sure we got our limit of Tilefish!  We had a big fight pulling them up from over 300’!
After talking with my “crew” of five others, we all agreed this was an awesome fishing trip!!

Captain, his wife, and 1st mate when out of their way to make our group feel welcome during the trip.  He was quick to respond back, and even when so far to cancel the trip one day because the water would be too rough.  We were able to reschedule for another day, allowing us to have an unforgettable day.  Highly recommend New Release to anyone who wants a great experience.

Captains Troy and Debbie (and mate Korey) exceeded all expectations for our group. Super laid back and accommodating for our group and consistently put us on the fish. We probably boated 100+ sea bass and easily had 30+ keepers. I’d recommend this boat and crew to anyone looking to have a great day/night on the water with friendly, helpful folks.

We booked to go after Mahi with the captain, he asked if we minded going out for tuna first then go after Mahi the night before.  We got 1 tuna bite and reeled in it, we missed the gaff hook and the fish was spooked after that. We were using light tackle for yellowfin which resulted in a broke line after the miss. We never went after Mahi and spent whole trip chunking for Tuna. I’m aware that is a different cost but really wanted the rest of my group(6 people) to try and catch some Mahi. Not what I was expecting but an overall good experience. I would book with them again, we just need to communicate our game plan better and go after other fish when the Tuna aren’t biting and the customers are getting bored, or sea sick. As I said, Captain and first mate were great (except for the missed gaff, that was disappointing). So I give them a five star regardless of that issue because I technically didn’t pay a tuna price. The next time when we spend 3 hours without a bite, they need to cut the losses and go after different fish. I ate the cost for the others in my group because they never even got to touch a pole. I wanted to catch fish, not scout for the next group going out.
