Captain Ryan put us on some big red fish right off the bat, very knowledgeable about the waters, our red fish were to big to keep, but he stayed 30 minutes after our time was up to make sure we left with our Red Fish that fit in the slot!!!

Great day for fishing in the bay in a half day fishing trip with captain Ryan and my 15 year old grandson. He caught several reds and trout. We had a ball. We really enjoyed fishing with captain Ryan, who was very knowledgeable and patient with our inexperienced selves. We highly suggest him to any fisherman and we plan to be back fishing with him again soon. Thank you captain Ryan

Captain Ryan knows his stuff. He was very knowledgeable and patient with us as my son lost a few fish on the Hookset. He even once got out of the boat to save us from losing a fish. He baited each hook for us he told us alot about where we were fishing and how the fish would act as we hooked them. Great guy I highly recommend Captain Ryan for anyone coming to PCB or close by.
