Great day

"The crew was outstanding and helpful. Many fish were caught. Any day on a boat is a good day. You can not keep cod and I had to throw back a lot of nice big ones. The boat was clean and the crew professional."

– Timothy J., Tripadvisor
We couldn't keep up with the bites!

"Fantastic day of fishing...caught over 40 and 19 keepers! Lots of haddock and a couple of pollock. My husband went with a friend and our oldest son and said that they didn't stop all day. Crew was awesome and it was well worth the ride down from Southern NH!"
