We were in fish all morning
Half Day Trip – Inshore (AM) on January 17, 20262 adults1 child

Had a great trip with Captain Scott! He was knowledgeable about fish, fishing and the area we were fishing in. He was patient with us midwestern fishermen (ages 11 to 78), kept us in fish all morning, and we brought home several meal’s worth of filets to enjoy later. I definitely recommend Captain Scott and will fish with him in the future.

Reported catch:
Sheepshead
Mangrove Snapper
Response from Captain
