Great Crew
Trolling (AM) on September 28, 20256 adults

Couldn't have asked for a better day. Captain and first mate(his wife) were fantastic. They did a great job keeping the guys on fish and interacting with us the whole time. Weather was perfect and we limited out in no time. Great experience and would highly recommend Captain Steve for anyone looking for a good time on the water not only fishing but enjoying the company
