What an experience early in the morning!
Wham bam, thank you, Captain Craig on February 22, 20262 adults
First fishing trip with my 13yr old son and what a morning it was! Captain Bryce was super pro and helping out with everything making it a truly memorable experience. We caught three king fish, one of them quite a monster. My son was so happy reeling in those bad boys. Perfect sunny morning and amazingly calm waters on Sunday, well worth 5am wake up call. Perfect father&son experience, highly recommended!
