Full Day Trip - Inshore on May 7, 20263 adults
Capt Lehman was great-on time ,ready, and a great conversationalist. We hit a bunch of spots and caught fish in all of them-8 different species and took home enough fish for multiple meals. Couldn't recommend him more- knew plenty about the history of the area too. kept us entertained and "hittin em" all day

Lehman Norman is a terrific guide
Half Day Trip (AM) - Inshore on March 20, 20264 adults
We had a great half day morning trip with Lehman. He took us to good spots and helped everyone in the group with our casting and fishing technique. We caught 13 fish, mostly sheepshead that provided a delicious lunch and dinner. This was our third trip with Lehman and it has been fun every time.
