6 hour( Sept 16 - Dec 31) 12pm on November 30, 2024
Chartered the Kelly Girl to take my extended family Fishing. There were 11 of us total ranging from my 74 year old mother to my 2 year old granddaughter. 4 generations on the trip. The Captain and first mate were absolutely amazing. Took us out and put us on the fish. Caught our Limit of Red Snapper in just 30 minutes after getting out to the Spot. Lifelong memories were made. Everything you dream of for a family fishing trip.
