Member since March 2018 South Amboy, United States
Background
Captain Frank has been fishing Raritan Bay from the age of 10. He has been a charter boat captain for the last 19 years and has fished from Cape Cod, MA to Virginia Beach, VA on the ASA and FLW Striper Tournament trails. He is still an active tournament fisherman, most recently winning the 2017 & 2018 LBI Cup Grand Championship Award back to back and winning 7 out of 9 tournaments entered in 2018. This is a testament to his passion, skill, and ability, which he puts to work on every trip he runs. Captan Frank publishes his weekly report in The Fisherman Magazine Highlands, NJ section. In the off season Captain Frank gives seminars and “How To” work shops on fishing strategies and techniques at industry Fishing/Trade and Boat shows.
Techniques
We run top of the line Tournament Rigged performance boats like out 36’ Contender "Fish Around". We are NOT your run of the mill charter boat that runs 5 miles from the dock just to drop anchor and hope to clam up a few fish. We specialize in many different proven techniques that clearly separate us from the rest of the boats. This equates to us giving you the most memorable experience for your time spent on the water from the moment we leave the dock!
