Half Day Trip (4hr)- Inshore (AM)
Please Read….. We had a great experience. But we were a victim of timing and weather. Doug is an excellent captain and the boat was great. Had fun pulling in Pin Fish and got a great Red Drone. Just wish we had caught more. But that wasn’t because of lack of effort on the captain or us trying. It was just the weather and we are near the end of the season. Trust me, we will be be back and will book with Doug again!

Wanted to treat my son to a salt water fishing trip as a congrats on his college graduation. Trip did not disappoint. Captain Doug was very knowledgeable about the area and read the fishing "signs" of where they were. We caught flounder, some small bait fish and a hammerhead shark. It was a great day to be on the water. We also saw dolphins and several large manta rays. Definitely recommend a charter with captain Doug and we will be chartering with him again when we come back.

We ended up catching 4 mackerel trolling. It was my wife's first time and to see her happy made the trip for me. She got seasick and the captain was super helpful and turned the trip around with helping her feel better. And we got a ton of fish. Thanks again captain Doug!
