The fleet’s calendar features short afternoon squid trips, full-day 9-hour outings, 10.5-hour marathons, and a 13-hour mid-range wreck trip that fishes 20–40 miles offshore. Trips target species such as Ling, Cod, Pollock, Winter Flounder, Blackfish, Sea Bass, and local squid.
Several trips include bait: clams are provided on the Ling, Cod & Flounder marathon, and other full-day trips note that bait is provided. The 5-hour Afternoon Squid Trips list rod rentals as an available option for anglers who need gear. Many full-day routes explore wrecks, rocks, and reefs, while mid-range trips concentrate on deeper wrecks for species like Ling, Cod, and Blackfish.
