Jack AI Customer Experience Snapshot

Captain Paul consistently puts customers on productive striper fishing, with guests catching everything from solid keepers to impressive 38-inch fish. His approach starts with catching fresh mackerel for live bait, which families especially enjoy as kids pull in strings of baitfish while adults help load the livewell. Paul uses fish finders to locate the best spots and teaches proper rigging techniques, helping both experienced anglers and first-timers understand what to watch for when targeting stripers. Customers appreciate Paul's patience and teaching ability, especially when working with mixed groups of experienced and amateur anglers. He stays flexible with weather conditions and keeps trips enjoyable even during rough seas or when keepers are scarce. Families consistently mention how Paul and his crew make fishing feel like a team effort, with guests often exploring additional experiences like checking lobster traps or watching for seals and sturgeon.

Great day. Perfect weather. Great captain and 1st mate. Nice boat. We all caught fish. Our group of five never fished together or had ever done a group activity. But we had a blast. Thank you, Yoke and gang

Had fun catching several dozen mackeral for live bait later. Afterwards, caught a few nice stripers including a 38 inch fish which was a nice memory for a 1st time experience for my daughter’s friend who accompanied us. Wish the opportunity to catch more was longer but we still all enjoyed the trip very much, it was a very nice day all in all.

I booked an afternoon striper trip with Capt. Paul to celebrate my son’s 13th birthday. It was the three of us—me, my wife, and our son—and we had a great time from the start. Catching mackerel for bait was a blast, and my wife ended up landing the keeper (of course 🙄). Capt. Paul put us on the fish, and the weather couldn’t have been better. Big thumbs up all around!

Landed a few solid stripers and some hefty "chopper" blues—made for a great day on the water! The trip was smooth and enjoyable, with top-notch support from Capt. Hogg and First Mate Joe. Highly recommend!

Captain Paul and First Mate Jim made our first family fishing trip one to remember! We kicked things off by catching our own bait—mackerel—and the kids had a blast pulling in strings of them while the adults helped load up the livewell. Jim kept things fun and made it feel like a true team effort. Next, we set out in search of stripers. Paul and Jim used the fish finder to put us on the best spots, and we learned how to rig bait and what to watch for when targeting stripers. While none of the fish we caught were keepers—and one gave us the slip—it was still exciting from start to finish. Great crew, hands-on experience, and tons of action. Highly recommend this charter for families!
