Fishing with Clinton
4 Hour Trip on August 27, 2024
One of the greatest fishing trips ever, Sho- Nuf , 19 cobia up to about 54 inches. I've been fortunate to have fished in a lot of different places and caught a lot of different fish, from Amazon Peacock bass , Mexican sail fish, Tarpon and bonefish in the Keys , trophy channel bass in Virginia surf and Michigan Small mouths. Yesterdays trip was as action packed and as memorable as any of these. Thanks Capt. Clint and mate Landon.

A captain who knows where the fish are!
4 Hour Trip on June 28, 2024
What a fantastic adventure. Let me first say, the deck hand (Landon) and captain (Clint) made this adventure amazing and really set us up for success! They had all the details taken care of and covered before we arrived. Within 20 min of departing we had our first bite and by the end of our trip we successfully caught 5 Kobia! It was me my wife, daughter and mother in law and they made our time with them so memorable! Captian Clint is a local and knows the territory so well, his experience allowed us to stay on the fish! We were fortunate enough to fight a 70lb fish, Amazing experience!! Highly recommend Sho-Nuf and Clint!!

9 Hour Trip – Striped Bass on December 9, 2023
Captain Clint provided a great day of fishing! The boat and equipment were top notch with plenty of eels for bait. First mate Joe was very helpful and knowledgeable. As someone who has been on many charters I'm well aware that fishing can be uneventful and slow at times. It's called fishing not catching for a reason. But Capt. Clint got us on some whoppers! We all got to experience reeling in a big one! They even had clean towels to wipe off the trophy fish slime after taking pictures! Would totally recommend Sho Nuf for a fun, professional fishing experience! Thanks Clint and Joe for a great day!

Awesome experience, captain clint and firt mate Owen were well prepared. They were polite, well informed, and wasted no time getting us on the water. They could answer every question we had confidently with bo hesitation and we had a good turn out catching about a dozen makrel and one big ol 42" cobia; that was a fun fight. Not to mention, the SHO- NUF is an awesome spacious boat that was very clean and comfortable. Plus bluetooth sound system to connect to the boat speakers. Top tier equipment and great with instuctions . Overall very professional and fun. 100 percent recommend !!! 👍👍
