I fished on your boat for the first time on Monday, November 21. I just wanted to let you know that I am still in awe of what I experienced that day. I own a 23 foot Aquasport and have fished all my life. I've caught 50 lb bass and 10 lb fluke but somehow to me doesn't compare to catching a nice fat chisel toothed 8 lb blackfish !!!! Cap, thanks for an awesome experience!!!!!!
hats off to desi, chris, pete, as the norm they all worked their tails off, this is a family run biss. It was heart warming to see mr desmond (Desi's Dad) down there always helping his son out. Its been two years now since my dad has passed away, boy sure miss his help and support. That's want makes the cq always a nice experience. Hats off to Mr Desmond....
I just wanted to thank you guys for a fantastic day of fishing. After being broken-hearted that Ralph's no longer rented boats, I was a little skeptical about having a "good" experience on a party boat...My brother and I were blown away with your professionalism and your passion...for catching fish and for making sure your customers caught some AND had a good time. I've fished on party boats from LI to NE and I can honestly say your boat was the best time. Keep it up! I'll be back to jig a few blues/stripers in August.
"Oh what a great Mother's Day I had. I went out on the Celtic Quest from Mt. Sinai and we didn't just fish; WE CAUGHT! Blackfish, blackfish and more blackfish. Even when the wind and tide were against us we were still catching. Morning bite was on both green crab and clams, but by 11 am clams won out. I had six out of eight keepers with my best being close to 7 lbs. With eight of us on the boat, we ended the day at 2:30 with 53 fish. "
"I am happy to report that this was the best, most enjoyable day of fishing I have had in quite some time. Desmond the captain was great, courteous, knowledgeable , right there on the spot when needed, great with the passengers, I can't say enough. I came out with my son, we caught plenty of fish, had the company of a captain and mate that were more like friends than crew, and all on a boat that is large enough to be comfortable yet small enough to be a great fishing vessel, close to the water, no "high" rails or long lifts from the water to the deck. None of that feeling like your fishing on a pier or bridge you're so far from the water. This is a great boat for LI sound fishing..."
