Great morning
4 Hour Trip (AM) on June 10, 2024
Capt. Hawkins was excellent. Right on time (we left an hour earlier than originally planned to catch the tide), had all the gear and multiple bait sources to ensure success while we fished the local barrier islands between Folly and James. He made a project of getting my youngest to enjoy the experience, which succeeded. Caught 4 or 5 different types of fish, action all 4hrs. Good time.
