Great Trip with Beautiful Weather!
4 Hour Trip (PM) on March 31, 20264 adults

Capt Brian worked hard to get us on fish. We started with Sheepshead and then moved to Redfish. We had plenty of opportunities for redfish, operator (us) error was the largest hurdle. Boated a couple beautiful redfish. Capt Brain is a local and was very willing to answer any questions. If you are reading this, just book the trip. You won't regret it!

Captain Brian was very hospitable and accommodating to our every need. The fish weren’t biting early and he wouldn’t stop until he found some. He interacted with all of our family and made the trip very special Dale Berry
