We went for my dad’s 66th birthday and Captain Wally and First Mate Sharon were absolutely a joy! they gave great instruction, prepared everything from Bait to rod, drove us to plenty different spots to fish. we left with over 80 fish. cant wait to book with them again! we had such a core memory experience. They were the absolute best! I’d confidently recommend them to anybody!

Incredible day!
4 hr bottom fishing (7am-11am) on August 10, 20251 adult1 child

We went out bottom fishing with Capt Wally and Sharon and had an absolute blast. We had 3 preteens with two dads and they catered so well to us being beginners with instruction and plenty of fish! Capt Wally is so knowledgeable, having spent almost his whole life fishing the area. We went to a couple different spots and caught about 70 or more fish(spot, croakers) and a handful of toadfish in our four hour tour. They taught us a quick easy way to clean them and we had some great eating tonight. We’ll definitely be back!
