Didn’t see dolphins ;) - but caught some sharks!!
Half Day Trip (PM) on August 7, 20253 adults

What could have been a mediocre day was anything but that! Just before our scheduled arrival, Capt Nick let us know the morning trip hadn’t yielded much and the water conditions were less than perfect - he left it up to us whether we’d like to do the trip or not. We decided to roll the dice and go for it - and we’re happy we did! Capt Nick and Brian were both personable and knowledgable - answering all the questions we asked and sharing some great stories along the way - we even got to share a great dolphin story we heard. Onto the fishing! With no guarantees and the warning that morning run wasn’t very fruitful, we prepared ourselves to not catch much. But we sat out there enjoying the water and sharing some laughs until, suddenly, we got a bite! There were three of us on the trip and we each had the opportunity to reel in a shark. I’m no expert at all - but they were saying each one was probably around 150 - 200 pounds! We had an absolutely wonderful day on the water and each of us now has a new and exciting fishing story to tell our friends - with pictures to prove it! Highly recommend - 5 stars - would do this again!

Reported catch:
Mako Shark
Response from Captain

We had a great time taking the 3 of you out. We appreciate the business. We hope to see you again. Capt Nick

Amazing Fishing Trip

Thanks to captain Nick and first mate brian for the amazing trip. They are very knowledgeable and make fishing a breeze. They got us on fish fast and we had a blast catching them. They kept the rods baited and ready to go. I highly recommend this boat and crew. Very clean & professional. We will be back again!
