Fishing with Jody
Half Day on May 24, 2024 • 2 adults

We had to cancel the trip on May 24 due to weather so we rescheduled and went today. The captain knows what he s doing. He’s a very nice man and so helpful. If I could have given him more stars I would . If you want a great fishing trip book on chunky monkey with captain Jody. We will use him and his boat again. This was our 49th wedding anniversary and with it being our anniversary he made it even more spectacular. Thank you Captain Jody.
