VERIFIED Went fishing on February 27, 2017
Right from the start we knew we were in for a great day with Captain Doug and were not disappointed. We caught our limit of Spotted Seatrout within the first two hours. Captain Doug knew where to go and when we got there he told us exactly where to cast our lines and most often it led to a strike and a caught fish. You could tell that his only objective was to provide the absolute best customer experience he could and he delivered in spades. Will definitely do it again and again.

Captain Doug was very helpful and friendly. He was very knowledgable about the area and fish and was very willing to give the experience you want. When I’m in the area I will definitely go within captain Doug and I would recommend that anyone in the area go with him!
