My brother and I had a great experience fishing with Captain Shane. We landed a five foot shark, dozens of sea trout and too many ladyfish to count. Captain Shane is a cool 😎 guy. I would highly recommend his services too anyone looking to catch dozens of fish and have a great time doing it I hope to use his fishing services on our next trip.
