In the summer wear sunglasses and a hat and bring sunscreen. In the spring and fall it may get a little cool so bring an extra shirt and waterproof footwear. While  In the winter you should dress warmly in layers. Bring your lunch and drinks.but leave your coolers behind as we have plenty on board filled with ice for the fish you catch and your drinks. Even though we supply only top quality tackle, you may bring your favorite rod and reel as well as any rigs you may choose, as some anglers have their own way of rigging.

If offshore fishing  is your choice we are just an hour  and a half to  three hours away from some of the finest shark fishing around, depending on water temperature, baitfish and water clarity.We are also in reach of some pretty good tuna fishing ,although distance will vary on location of the different species of tuna.With bluefin usually being the closest to home port. Rates on all offshore trips will vary depending on distance to the grounds.For instance,early season sharking can be much further than later on and bluefin tuna are usually much closer than yellowfin and longfin tuna.

We use all Penn International reels on Star and Chaos rods for all our offshore fishing insuring that there will be no lost fish due to poor quality equipment.
