These adventures are suitable for anglers of all skill levels. Even if you’re a complete novice, you’ll consider yourself an angler by the end of the day. Just get in touch with the captain, and he’ll arrange the trip, so it meets your needs.

This bay boat is powered by a 300 HP Yamaha engine and features a live bait tank, navigational electronics, an ice box, and a wireless trolling motor. You’ve got everything you need for a great day of fishing, you only need to say what you want to catch.

There are various ways to catch them, so you can switch between trolling, popping, jigging, and bottom fishing.

You can purchase your fishing license online or at the meetup location. Make sure to bring some snacks and drinks. The captain will prepare top-notch rods and reels, and make sure there’s enough lures and live bait for the day.
