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
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.
What a morning. So sore. Captain Norman provided a great fishing experience. Caught over 12 species of fish. Caught 20 fish. I am tired.
10/10. Captain Lehman put us on the fish. Took home the limit but caught many more. We will definitely book again
great trip. awesome captain. highly recommended
