Outstanding Experience
Full Day Trip on March 23, 20262 adults

My son and I spent the day on the water with Jay. Not only did he put us on an amazing amount of fish but he gave us great insight to the area and I felt like I was hanging out with an old fishing buddy. The variety of fish was amazing for our first charter in the area. But Jay reached out prior to our trip and inquired if there was anything we wanted to target. His instructions were spot on and contributed to our success. I highly recommend a day on the water with Jay…great guy, guide!
