Captain Jack overall was a very good host, great guy. He had a very good personality and he was very friendly. Prior to the trip i let Captain Jack know we wanted to Target BLack Sea Bass, Blue fish, Progy or Tautog and maybe Fluke . He made every effort to take us out to multiple areas but he seemed to only br targeting Fluke and we didn’t have any luck. I have been fishing for many years and I know everyday is not a great day. I do feel we should have tried different baits or even changed the bait that was on the hook for 4 hours or even Target the fish we really wanted to go for. In all the years I’ve been fishing i know sometimes you have to try different things. If you aren’t even getting a bite with bait you are using then “💡” maybe its the bait. This is actually the first time in 30 years of fishing that i never even caught anything or even got a bite.There have been many occasions where you might go home empty because of the throws backs but to not even get a bite🤔. It was great being out on the water again and my buddies enjoyed being on the water as well for their first time. Going forward if I did venture out with Captain Jack I’d probably bring my own bait.

Unknown prior to scheduling, the boat was smaller than expected so the 6boys that fished had to take turns, 2 at a time to fish. The Capt remained close to shore the entire 5 hours,  ( they came back early at the guests request). They brought back only 3 f keeper fish between all 6 guys. I think if they would have left the shoreline, they would have had better luck for the day. They were too polite to say anything but since I paid for this trip, I will speak up so hopefully it will resort in a change for future parties.

For 82, Jack is pretty sharp. He had a plan and a back up for it, but it is clear to me that he is a Striper fisherman at heart. If you have thin skin, not the right boat for you! We went for Seabass, long story short, not happy. If bottom fishing is your desire, I will go elsewhere.
