Paul,

You did a great job yesterday and because of you all the guys had a great time. Keep up the passion for what you do because it really shows and will always be the secret behind your success.

I hope you and your family have a great holiday weekend.

Paul,

I wanted to thank you again for the fantastic day of fishing on July 10^th. I have never had so much fun on a boat! Your expertise in your field is second to none. Thank you for being so personable and friendly. I can’t wait to see the pictures of the 35+ striper I caught. I ate it tonight with the help of your recipe. It was fantastic! What a great dish! My family loved the recipe as well. My wife (a haddock eater all her life) was so nervous. She thought it was incredible.

I wanted to let you know that the memory of that day will last forever. I really appreciate everything. From fishing for mackerel to the stripers we brought in. I just wanted to say thank you again.

I have already talked to my brothers about taking a trip on your boat sometime next year but I hope to see you again this year.

Sincerely,

James Taylor

Hi Paul (Captain):

Diane, Erica, James, and I want to thank you once again for an absolutely wonderful day on the water yesterday. The kids haven't stopped talking about their fishing experience, and us old folks are healing our sore appendages. The striper recipe was put to good use last night and, as promised, it was awesome.
I'm not sure we will ever be able to buy fish at the market again!

It was a great experience to get back out on the water, catch some fish, and do it under the guidance of someone as courteous, knowledgeable, and patient as yourself. The same applies to Alex -- he was truly wonderful with the kids and, believe me, that goes a long, long way with 9 and 12 year olds.

We couldn't have been more pleased with the whole experience, and we're very happy that the kids' first exposure to fishing was a fun, positive, and educational one. Your charter proved to be a very special family experience for us, and (as you know) that's really what life's all about....trying to live those moments that will be fondly remembered for many years to come.

I'm sure we'll see you again before summer's end.

Best regards,
Larry, Diane, and the kids

Paul,

You are by far one of the "BEST" small boat charter captains I have ever fished with. I have spent over 35 years saltwater fishing in the Northeast and have also been a USCG-licensed charter boat captain for the past 18 years. That trip you put together for me and my cousin from Virginia, on the Finicky II, with his kids was absolutely outstanding. Not only did you put us on on the fish we were targeting (our arms are tired, we will all sleep well tonight) but the way you treated each person as an individual, coaching them and giving them special attention, made the overall trip a memory that will last a lifetime for each person involved!!! THANKS CAPTAIN PAUL....I hope we can do it again soon!
