Customer Testimonials - Sport Fishing Charters aboard the Lyndsy Liz with Captain Ray Ransom

I can't thank you enough for a great day of fishing with my 3 children. Your professionalism and commitment to teach proper fishing technique as well as environmental conservation is unsurpassed. Growing up on Cape Cod was always a cherished experience and giving that same experience to my kids, who live in Toronto, Canada was extremely special. The joy on their faces when landing the big stripers and the picture will be a lasting memory and we hope to make it an annual event !!! Thanks again and enjoy the photos. I am biased but I think my Katie and Gillian would make a great brochure or website photo !

Thanks again, Chris Terrio - D-Y Class of 82'

Capt Ray-

Thanks for the great fishing! If the first time wasn't enough, we had to go twice! Great fishing with a captain who knows how to get it done! We ALL caught the BIGGEST fish of our lives. Cannot wait to do it again. I hear John already booked a Tuna trip for Labor Day. Wish I could be there. See you soon!

Thank you again for a great day on the water yesterday. We all had a great time and the fishing was excellent. You are very good at what you do and helped us all to enjoy the day even more. It is a lot of fun for all of us and it was also a great day to show my clients.
Thanks again,
Scott

Hi Captain Ray! We made it back from the cape after eating more tuna than I could ever imagine - rest assured we still have tons left. Here are some pics from our trip. Thanks again - we had a great time, as you may have noticed. Between downing beers and watching them STRUGGLE to get a fish in, it was a memorable trip...we're coming back next year so I can get a chance to show them how it's done! Hope you're well!

Your 2010 First Mate,
Maggie

How's it going? Here's a picture from our bass trip on 7-9-09. I know the weather looks cold, but the striper action was HOT! Good job. Thanks for yet another great day! I look forward to our next outing. Also, those shark steaks were excellent. Everybody raved about them!

Thanks again, Steve Hampton

I just got some pics from last Saturday's trip I wanted to pass along...everyone had a great time and I wanted to say thanks again! Those pics of Teresa's fish I landed still amaze me! Hope you have a great season...

Here are the enclosed pictures of our July trip, we all had a great time, we definitely recommend you to all of our fishing friends. Can't wait to see you on Tuesday, hope we catch some big tunas! Once again as a reminder, in the picture is my daughter Jordan, her friend Cellena, and of course my brother-in-law Darryl.

It has been almost four months since our tuna trip in August but I just wanted to thank you for another great charter. Two years in a row you gave us a "trip we'll remember for a lifetime". I'm not sure what was better, the tuna fishing or the whales, but the whole day was an incredible adventure. We all look at the pictures and video often and when we show them to friends and family they just can't believe it.

We hope you and your familly have a great Holiday Season and we look forward to another great charter next year.

Just wanted to give you a line and say my nephews Luis, Steven, Oscar and Alex and I-and Shaina really enjoyed the bass fishing on Sunday July 20. Non-stop action for 4 hours has everyone still talking. I can tell you that nobody other than me had ever caught fish of that size---and for me its not typical from the surf.

Looking forward to future trips to Bass River and will be contacting you in advance for sure.
Best
Tom

Thanks for a great time on Tuesday. This is a picture from last year. We will send you the new pictures soon. Thanks again. See you next year.

Not sure if you remember me, but my name is Tom. I was on your charter on Saturday 07/19/08 with my four friends for my bachelor party. Steve booked the trip with you. Just wanted to say thank you again and it was a blast. We will definitely be back soon to do it again and hopefully try a shark charter in the future. I was wondering if you could do me a favor and email me the pictures that we took of our trip using your camera? There was probably about 5 or 6 of them including the one of Steve and his 44" monster.

Thanks again,
Tom

Thanks for the great time! Joe, Dave, Mike and I had fun, next time maybe mike will stay dry. When you get a chance can you e-mail me the pic you took.

A debt of gratitude for a most incredible fishing trip. My Swedish cousins will be talking about the fish they caught for years to come! I did not tell them much about what to expect which made the trip all the better. When my Brother who canceled coming with us saw the pictures..he ate his hat! You surely know your stuff and your first mate Greg was great helping us! Tomas and Marcus are hoping to get back to the Massachusetts in a few years. Please stay around! Again, many thanks!

Dennis, Joe, Thomas & Marcus

We all had a wonderful time and are looking forward to doing it again. You most definately have repeat customers. Once again thankyou for the great fishing and we will see you soon.

Sincerely,
Allan

I found a good picture of us on the striper trip. I know the weather didn't cooperate for the tuna, but the striper action made up for it! Great time!

Thanks again, and look forward to our fall tuna trip.

Wanted to thank you again for the fishing experience. You will be seeing us again in a year or so.

Thank you so much for the wonderful pictures you took while out fishing... hopefully we can go out with you again this season!

Patty and I had a spectacular time fishing with you this past October. Also a year prior to that we had a spectacular experience when I went out with you with my two brothers-in-law Jack and Patrick.

Ray, What a great day. I was a little skeptical on this whole thing but you knocked the cover off the ball with our experience. Great fish, whales all over the place and your passion for tuna combined to make this a great day. I'm coming back and bringing lot's of friends with me. Thanks again for making this such a super experience.

We had an absolutely wonderful vacation on the three fishing charters with you Ray. Of course, catching the huge tuna was the highlight of the entire trip for John. You made our time very enjoyable. Your knowledge of where and when to fish were fantastic. We would recommend you to anyone and will definitely be back again.

Dear Ray, For starters, my family and I had a beautiful day on Nantucket sound. But then to catch all those bass and bluefish! It was so much fun and so exciting. You do, however, underestimate yourself. Your recipe for grilled striped bass was pure perfection and we agreed it tasted better than lobster! Thanks to both you and Kevin for all of your help and a really great time. See you next season!

Hi Ray,
Attached pix of my son Eric from the trip on Sunday. Feel free to add to your web page gallery if so desired……
Thx for the great time. I’d like to work on a plan to go out sometime in October for the big tuna. I’ll see what I can do from my end to pull together a team of guys to go.

Thx again.

Ray : Thanks for taking me and my two boys on the shark fishing charter last Friday, July 29, 2005. It was a great trip! If we get back up that way, maybe we can try for Tuna next.

Thanks again.

Hi Ray

...We had such a fantastic day, really made our holiday. The fish was absolutely beautiful to eat and had a huge feast that night. Never managed to cook it on the bbq as it got dark quite early (we did spend hours in the supermarket buying food to go with it!) and we ended up cooking it in the oven but it was still amazing!

We have some great memories from that day and I will certainly recommend you to our friends when they visit - everyone was very jealous when we got home. We're hoping to do another trip to the Cape in the near future so if you're still chartering, we'll give you a call and maybe to do a tuna trip next time!

Hope you are well and that my big fish makes your website!!!!! Lee still has the hump that I caught the largest! I must be a natural - soon find out if your training paid off - we're off to Australia at Christmas to fish for Whiting and Salmon, I'm starting a new trend for women I think!!

Have a fantastic winter and all the best

Hello Ray, Dan from your saturday morning trip(8/20). I just wanted to thank you again for a great trip. I was a little skeptical at first, but I was very impressed with the way you led us to the fish. We were definitely looking for that kind of action. We are considering a September tuna trip, if not you can count on us being back next summer. And we will surely recommend you to others.

Hi Ray, Just wanted to say thanks for a great fishing trip last weekend and fitting us into your busy schedule. Just finished our fish dinner and it was delicious, even with my cooking. We all had a good time on the Cape but the fishing was the highlight for everyone. Thanks for your patience and good humor with our group, we're all still laughing about it. If we ever come back to the Cape, we will definitely sign on again. In the meantime Susie and I will be practicing our casting :).

Enjoy the rest of your season and good fishing,
Kathy
