My 12 year old son and I had a great experience! Captain Jason went out of his way to make sure we had the best trip possible, and I will book with them again in the future.
Bart! So glad you had a great time! that's what we strive for! Ill see you guys next year!
Captain Jordan was great! Even with the storms he was able to put us on some red fish and trout
I had such a great time with yall! Glad the storms weren't able to get and we found a few!
Jason was super helpful and put us on the big ones.
You can get at it on the seas when it's calm & beautiful, or you can brave the wrath of God's mighty ocean like we did today. The choice for some, is obvious.. Jordan & Jason knew what they were doing, and as long as we were cool with pressing on, they were good too. Hell yeah, get it boys! Caught & hooked shark, and then a bunch of other dinner fish to take home and fry up. Definitely let these boys take you out to sea, they know their fickle ocean mistress, and they know where all her bounty are swimming. See you again soon guys!
Paul! We had an absolute blast with you guys! Cant wait to do it again!
Great trip, great crew and great fishing
