Thank you so much for your review! We greatly appreciate you and we look forward to seeing you again soon!!!
Our first fishing trip, but definitely not the last, with Captain Chris and Ben was better than expected! He put us right on the fish and kept us on them the whole trip! He was great with our grandson and made his wish of catching mahi come true. They were very kind, respectful and informative letting us know what to expect and delivered a trip we will not soon forget! We can’t say enough good things about Captain Chris and Ben. You will not be disappointed!
Thank you so much for your review! We greatly appreciate you and we look forward to seeing you again soon!!!
Captain Brice worked very hard to find the Tripletail for us. They were super slow the week we went but we were lucky along with his persistence in getting us to the spots. It was our first experience and we had a great time. We cooked some up when we got home and.. man were they delicious! Thanks Captain Brice and your Wakulla man helper(sorry don’t remember his name) but we gonna bring him a hair clip next time..lol. 😊
Thank you so much for your review! We greatly appreciate you and we look forward to seeing you again soon!!!
