Great company!
Half Day Trip – Sheepshead (PM) on March 21, 20263 adults1 child

Great communication and crew. lt was my first time fishing on a charter and wasn’t sure what to expect. John and Cassie were so patient with my family. They kept us safe while made the trip so enjoyable. We had to shorten our trip since my dad wasnt feelinf well, but were able to catch 7 sheepheads and a drum. I highly recommend this company to others.

Reported catch:
Black Drum

Typical day of fishing; you never know what is going to happen. The crew did everything possible to find the fish. Finally, on the way in, we found a few. Will be back and hope for a better day.
