Great day with Capt Lynn Smith
6 Hour Trip on March 29, 2025
Fishing in March can be unpredictable. This time was no exception. Wind had blown hard and we had lots of rain for several days before our scheduled trip. Capt. Smith thought the weather would settle and that he would find some fish, and he was right! We found a nice group of reds to test our rods. You couldn't ask for a better fishing guide.
