We had the pleasure of having Ken and Jenn back for YEAR 3 on the sand! There's probably nothing better than having clients back. Not only did we slam into TONS of fish all night, but Ken got to catch the biggest Sandbar shark of his life with us, and the biggest fish he's ever caught. We even hooked into some other species. All around, a blast and both left happy, content, and with sore arms and backs. Thanks for coming back!

Delaware Bay - Sussex, DE Shore Report on 12th Jun, 2024 - 1

Hello friends and fans, let me tell you about this evening. We had Matt and his clan out not far from their AirBnB for our first trip of the season. Not only was the night filled with fun, excitement, peeling reels, and smiling faces... we made the night for these guys like none other. Stories were told, clothes got wet, and fish were quickly caught and released. We finished the night with not only a Blacktip, but also several other species of large sharks. Surprise surprise, little 12-year old Eli even caught one of the largest fish of the night... This is why we do this. These memories will last a LIFETIME! Book up so you can experience this for yourselves as well.

Cape May - Cape May, NJ Shore Report on 1st Apr, 2023

Wow, what a day out on the water! I took Harlee and Molly out on one of our 8-hour shark fishing trips last summer, and they really put their sister power to use. These girls are skilled anglers and they did a heck of a job wrangling in some beautiful sharks. We caught a variety of species. It was a real fighter, but Molly managed to bring it in and release it safely. I was impressed by the teamwork and determination of these sisters, and it was a pleasure to see their excitement and joy throughout the trip. We had a great day out on the water, and I can't wait to see what other adventures await us on future trips.
