Half Day Trip (AM) on June 29, 20266 adults

This fishing experience was super great. Capain Corey drove us around to all the good spots. Everyone on the boat caught white and speckled trout along with some other species. We all had fun and would definitely do this again. Thank you Captain Corey and Olivia for helping us make a memorable fishing experience :)

The fishing trip was amazing! We did a four-hour half-day fishing trip, and the captain was great with the kids. We had tons of action on the fishing poles all morning and stayed busy reeling in fish. It was such a fun experience, and everyone had a great time!

Captain Corey has been fishing his whole life and recently decided to turn his hobby into a profession. Since he's a local, he knows all the good spots around Apalachicola Bay. He loves fishing with anglers of all skill levels and he doesn't mind if they've never fished at all. The favorite part of his job is seeing the kids catch their first fish ever!
