This trip was a lot of fun. It was windy so we had some challenges flyfishing. Gibson worked really hard and took the time to work with my daughter on her casting. We did catch fish and had multiple opportunities at fish. I enjoyed the laid back style of the captain and his appreciation of the area.
Novice at fly fishing. Captain Clay put me on plenty of red fish and opportunities.
Captain Gibson did a great job getting us on red fish and helping us become better fly fisherman. We will definitely be back.
Gibson is very knowledgable and fun to fish with. highly recommend.
