3/4 Day Trip – Nearshore
Good Time
Captain and Deckhand were great and very friendly. Although we couldn't go offshore due to the weather, we were still able to catch a variety of inshore fish and we still had a good time.

Had a blast
Had a blast for an off season trip. Maxed out on red snapper early. Captain Paul was awesome put us on fish and his son Trey was a very good deck hand if that kid decides to be a captain one day he would be a great captain. I would definitely recommend and will use again

A Windy Day with Paul and Tray
We had the most lovely day with Captain Paul and his son/first mate Tray. We had initially planned to go the deep water route, but the weather (and wind) changed leading to much higher swells. Captain Paul had multiple alternative plans and we hit several inland (bay/river locations); it turned out to be a real magical day. Plenty of fish; great conditions (under circumstances). Look forward to doing it again!
