I’ll start by saying that I can’t say enough great things about our 4hr trip with Eric. Eric was on point with communication before and during the trip, he made everything easy and extremely pleasant for us! He was happy to take us out despite the cold and breezy conditions today and put us directly on the bite!! We caught fish all morning and had an absolute blast!! Captain Eric treats his customers like his friends and is a professional when it comes to catching people big fish!! My fiancé caught her biggest fish ever at 42” and we caught countless keepers and a 38” also!!

The boat was a little cramped with a group of four, so at first we weren’t expecting much action. But the captain was very efficient at getting us right on top of fish. So we took turns two at a time fishing and the other two taking pictures, and everyone who dropped a line caught something fun.
Those stripers are no joke either, none of us had ever caught anything bigger than about two feet long so when the first striper battled it’s way into the deck, we were all blown away and the energy was electric.
We spent about half the time in the mouth of the Essex and the second half out in the bay chasing schoolies at the surface!

Definitely a good trip for 2-3 people, but 4 should expect to fish half the time. Even half time though, he was so good at finding the fish that you can also expect that everyone will catch something to talk about.
Overall a fun and very exciting trip for my son’s 16th birthday, and all of us were happy to leave with filets for dinner.
Thanks again, we will be back I’m sure!

A buddy and me did a half day with captain Eric and it was amazing. Best charter we have ever been on, captain eric took us out and immediately put us on fish. We caught a total of over 30 striper. This included a 37 and a 47 inch monster. Captain Eric was amazing and we would highly recommend using his services. We will most definitely be back!
