We took 2 friends out from Europe who had never fished before, Captain Ed asked me what I wanted to fish for, and he delivered. Great experience for our friends . Captain and mate were very friendly and easy to work with and talk to. I would highly recommend Lucky Strike Charters for your next fishing trip.

CPT Ed and Mongo were awesome. My family of four went out with them for a trip and they were super welcoming and tried everything to make sure we had a great time. My 14yo son and I have done about 10 charters before but my wife and 13yo daughter had never gone and this was their first. They booked one for my birthday and the day we arrived to our hotel our charter cancelled on account of bad winds. We were super bummed. I jumped in fishing booker and found lucky strike and sent Ed a message asking if they thought conditions were ok. They said it seemed fine and agreed to take us on this last minute booking. That saved the whole trip! We trolled for Spanish mackerel and caught only two as it was slow. We then threw out the net and got some bait to try shark. We caught four shark, one per person who cg was a blast! They were great and I can’t recommend them enough!

Words can't fully capture how incredible the trip was with Captain Eddie and Mongo. I've been on plenty of fishing trips, but this one was by far the best. Fishing is all about the experience, and if we catch something, it's a bonus—and with Lucky Strike, they nailed it. We got to relax while Mongo handled everything, but when the poles went off, it was time to fish! We reeled in Spanish mackerel and spinner sharks, and for me, catching the sharks was an unforgettable thrill—the power of the fight is something I'll remember. The friendly and welcoming crew made the trip even better. My girlfriend caught the biggest fish of the day—a massive 74” spinner shark—and we can’t wait to have it on our wall this Christmas!

The captain answered the phone personally and offered great advice on where to fish and what was biting, ensuring we had a successful day despite the 25 mph winds. He was spot on—we had a steady catch and even dragged a net for live bait, which was a new and interesting experience. The mate was friendly, knowledgeable, and worked hard to make sure we had the best possible day despite the rough conditions. He’s going to be an awesome dad this December!

Captain Ed and Mongo took excellent care of us from start to finish! We caught bait fish, saw several dolphins, and even reeled in a 5” shark. With kids on board, the crew was patient and took the time to explain everything to them. Mongo was a lot of fun and a fantastic coach! After we got back, Mongo filleted the shark for our dinner. It was a trip we’ll always remember, and as a bonus... I’m now officially the coolest aunt! Thank you for an unforgettable family experience.

Awesome trip for 5 adults and 2 kids that have never gone deep sea fishing! Captain Ed was very nice and friendly. His ship mate Mongo went above and beyond to make our trip memorable. He was excellent with the boys and always made them feel included and taught them a lot about the marine life we experienced. Highly recommend this charter and will book with them again in the future!
