I had the Tony D. group of 4 onboard tonight. Conditions were nice, with SE wind at 10mph and extreme high tides. We found the fish right away tonight, and the action was fast and steady, with lots of active flounder in the shallows. Most of the fish tonight were holding very shallow, right near the bank. We ended with a 20 flounder limit plus 1 sheepshead by 10pm (1 hour 45 minutes of gigging). The largest fish tonight was 22", weighing just shy of 5 pounds.

Upcoming open dates:
April: 8, 9, 11, 17-19, 23-26, 30
May: 1, 6-9, 12-17, 19-24, 27, 28, 30
June: 5, 8, 10-15, 17-19, 21-30


I also do "late trips" if I finish quickly with my first group. Late trips usually leave the dock 10pm-1am. Please call for availability. This is the best way to get a trip on short notice when I am already booked.

Price: $550 for 3 people, $100 each additional person, up to 6 people

I want to see a video of you filleting a flounder. I bet that's a sight to see. Sure looks like you get plenty of practice!

It takes me 30-45 seconds per fish to fillet, and that's taking my time making sure I get all the meat and make a pretty fillet for my customers....
