4 Hour Trip – Bay Fishing (AM)
Our experience with George was incredible. He was an excellent captain while be friendly and tentative to our needs. We all enjoyed learning the local catches and reeling in some huge catches. We will be highly recommending this charter to our friends/ family and looked forward to fishing with George again someday!!

4 Hour Trip – Bay Fishing (AM)
We took our boys out for the first time ages 6 and 7. Captain George was awesome with our kids explaining what he was doing and keeping them on fish. He was very patient and used a number of techniques to catch a wide variety of fish. I would recommend him to anyone. We plan on coming back next time.

4 Hour Trip – Bay Fishing (AM)
We had an amazing trip with George. He put us on the Red Fish right away. George keep our lines baited and in the water. He was very knowledgeable and very skillful, he managed to operate the boat and take care of us all at the same time. We ended up tapping out at 20 massive Red fish, we were able to catch 2 that were legal. The rest ranged from 27" to 34" Our arms were wore out and we couldn't have asked for more. George also took us up the coast and did a little trolling and site fishing. The boat was perfect for us two but could easily handle 2 more. We will differently be back next year if not sooner for more.

4 Hour Trip – Bay Fishing (AM)
We did a 4hrs trip with my dad and my two boys. My 8yr old had blast and had asked to go fishing while we were on vacation. We decided to bring my 4yr old who has sensory sensitivity. Captain George was absolutely amazing, he was very attentive with my children. My 8yr old asked to go again and wants to only go with Captain George
