Half day offshore trip with Capt Brad
4 Hr Trip – 4 per Inshore Family on December 23, 20191 adult2 children

Great trip, boat and crew. My boys (pictured above) are beginners and they both had all the support and suggestions they needed to have a great time. Capt Brad knew exactly where to go to find fish and we were catching fish within minutes of reaching “the spot.” We all caught multiple fish as well as a few big ones! Boat was well maintained and had all the equipment we could ever need. Really well done.
