General Information:
No More Than Six Passengers total are allowed per U.S. Coast Guard Regulations. If you want to bring six it will be very crowded and everyone will not be able to fish at the same time.
The rates listed below are for a private fishing trip with one to four people being ideal. Five people all fishing is doable, but it will be a little crowded. We may only be able to get four people fishing in certian situations. It all depends on the type of fishing we are doing, the wind direction, and current flow.
There is no Mate needed on any trips except Trophy Striped Bass.
Final balance can be paid with: Cash (preferred), Credit Card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay, and will collected at the end of the trip.
We do not do walk on trips. Only private fishing charters with your group.
