Andrew Iaquinta5.0VerifiedCaptain Earl was great!
5 Hour Trip (AM) on June 22, 2024 • 2 adults • 1 childCaptain Earl was ready right when we got to the dock. We headed straight out and not long after we set the gear up, we started catching fish. Caught dozens of fish, hit our limit early and caught some white bass too. I had my six-year-old with us and he had a great time! Will be seeing Earl again.
