Excellent way to spend our day with family. Crew was awesome. Will return! Boat was clean.

Great price for the trip, crew was very friendly and anytime someone had a fish on, they were right there with a net helping.

$35 bucks per and the provided bait is mangled, frozen minnows. Perch go after live bait. 20 (paying) souls on board and the total catch over 4 hours was 2 small perch & a small bass while we sat amidst a fleet of personal boats taking a harvest. Guests all voted to end the trip an hour early. Not cool. read more

I haven't made it on this boat for 10 years. Every time we make reservations we get canceled after wasting money on the fishing licenses. Disappointing charter read more

Beware all positives reviews are from last year. New owners as of February 2016. My father came up from FL for my son's baptism and wanted to hit a perch trip. I am from Pittsburgh so we called and reserved 4 spots, was told on the phone that they have been on the bite. We towed our pop-up camper up to camp the night before. We checked the weather before bed, winds S-SW 10 to 15mph changing to W at 10 to 15mph. It was gonna be way to rough for my 16' footer. We hit the dock, they were still going out....great!!! We hit the water 45 min out we anchored sat for 1hr 15min on a spot not that far from shore. 4 fish in the boat and the captian calls it, says we are heading back, but wait we get a $10 coupon for a future trip. Are you kidding me? The o danny o didn't go out, when we were heading out I thought they didn't have enough people, no they called it. When we were on our way out the captain had NOAA on, it stated a small craft advisory from 10am on. So they knew it was gonna be rough, hell we knew the night before. Figured the captain ran out so we were good to go. On the way back in we talked to a guy that has a season pass, this was his 9th trip this year. He informed us that the boat was sold, also that it has been bad/slow all year. . But wait we were told on the phone that the bite was on. Then we get back to the dock. There was no way I was tipping the mate who did nothing, as he was starting to clean the boat captian tony came off and asked if he needed anything. Mate jason sayed nope, I'm good. Captain tony replied gonna go home take a nap and I'll see you at 4pm. Beware if you leave the dock you are out your money this is true for any party boat however any respectable operation would call the trip before you left, ask if you wanted to fish in rough conditions, or stay out and find fish. None of this was done, this was a total money grab and so will the afternoon trip. I wish i had the time to waste to wait and warn people but this is the best I can do. One fish for and a boat ride $140. Warning the general public......priceless. read more

See all

Was charged 2 times for 1 trip, and they tried to get a 3rd time as I boarded and asked me for cash when you cant even book online without paying. Rented a poll. First mate was still rigging them up for 20+ mins after we got to the first spot. When I finally got a poll first cast I noticed there was 50 feet of line and we were in 40 feet of water. Not really enough. Second cast my rig flew off. Waited 15 more mins to get a second pole and the reel was on the right side, I reel left handed. I tried to switch it, but it was rusted on. I told the first mate, and figured while I wait 15 more mins for another pole I would use it. Turns out there was a knot on the line and it hung up at 10 feet, first cast. Got a new pole and the line was wrapped around the pole in between eyes. Waited for him to re-line, got it back and it literally didn't go through the last eye. Shocked I handed back. 15 mins later I get the pole back and it is wrapped around the pole in between eyes in a different spot. I'm not exaggerating. All this happened. Finally got a pole that worked, and got a bite... knot came undone at the rig and I lost the fish. Only good bite of the day. Been a few weeks now, still working on a refund for the overcharge. No one is getting back to me. Had they refunded me the overcharge I wouldn't have even bothered posting this. read more

We start out in the morning (seven am) from a slip in the bay, motor out 200 yards, and anchor in the bay! We spend an hour of prime fishing time in the bay, what a waste. We go out to Beach 7/LIghthouse Beach and stay in that spot at different depths the whole rest of the day! No one, out of TEN people got one bite out there. Then, on the way in, they send a little kid around with a tip jar. You have GOT to be frickin' kidding me! They should be giving me a rebate! To end this horrible trip, they shave the last half hour off of the trip. I could have saved $35 by fishing on the North Pier and had I even caught one perch, it would have been more than I got on the Edward John. read more

the initial price is fine, but once on boat you get hit with a dollar to use a bucket to put your fish in.thats not all when you rent a pole don't dare loose a hook or sinker we were told you have to pay three dollars to rent another pole. the ad says the crew will help you with your fishing needs that's a pure lie the first mate Jason cleaned fish most of the time and the captain fished. I would recommend finding a different boat. jeff s 7-28-16 nite trip read more
