Half Day Trip – Bay Trip (AM) on November 28, 2024
It was a slow day at the beginning, which allowed us to learn two fishing techniques and get comfortable with them. Capt Aaron kept looking for the schools of fish until we found them! We caught four large drum and a couple others got away. Very exciting! Six other fish were smaller and we put them back. We got the drum cleaned at filleted right there at the pier and we took it to a local restaurant recommended by Capt Aaron. We had so much fish for the three of us that we tried it all different ways: grilled, blackened and fried... delicious! and plenty left for the kitchen crew. A great experience overall.

Caught plenty of fish and had a great time. Really appreciative the captain was running charters on x-mas eve. Definitely a first for us to be able to go out and enjoy an action packed fishing trip the day before Christmas. We will definitely book this charter again if we are in the area.
