Our eight hour fishing charter is “The Full Monty!”  Honestly, with this trip, the skies the limit! The full day trip is Captain Jay’s favorite trip to run.  The full day trip usually involves a stop for lunch during slack tide at one of our many local waterfront restaurants.  Depending on the time of year, the full day trip allows us to target multiple species of fish that typically tend to live in a variety of different spots within our large fishpond.
