5 Hour Trip – Inshore (MAX 2) on July 8, 2024

Captain Shane was the best. He put us on big reds and also fished with live bait that he had caught prior to our trip in the live well. We had an emergency come up and he was more than accommodating. Very grateful for the experience! Thank you, captain! Can’t wait to fish with captain Shane again!

5 Hour Trip – Jetties/Harbor (PM) on September 17, 2022

We were supposed to go to the Jetties and the harbor but the weather and wind was not ideal for fishing in those spots. We were concerned we would be able to catch anything. Captain Shane took us to a different location where we caught large Reds and sharks. We are so grateful he was able to make a change in our itinerary so we could still have a successful day of fishing! We had a lot of fun and will plan to do another charter with Captain Shane in the future!

5 Hour Trip – Jetties/Harbor (PM) on October 8, 2022

Capt. Shane tried his hardest to get us on the fish, but with the recent storm and dramatic temperature changes, the fish just weren’t biting. We caught a decent number of smaller fish off the jetties, and he really tried putting us on some redfish, but we all still had a great time. A day on the water, whether you catch a big one or not, is worth it with good people!

5 Hour Trip – Jetties / Harbor (AM) on April 15, 2022

My son and I had an amazing day with Captain Shane. Despite gusts up to 25 mph Shane was able to navigate us to several hot spots where the reds were biting in abundance! Great day all around, Shane. Thanks for making it a special memory for our father & son trip! We can't wait to come back. -Christian B.
