John and Mark were great all around! They picked us up on time, traveled 15 minutes and we were catching fish as soon as we put our bait in the water! They were great with helping and teaching my kids about how to fish, what to look for to catch fish and was always attentive when they were having troubles. Would highly recommend John and Mark for your next fishing experience!
Thank you for the review. I really appreciate it. We really enjoyed have you guys on the boat. The kids are great. It makes me happy seeing kids catching fish and having a good time. Thanks again. John
The guys went above and beyond to make our trip enjoyable. One of the most enjoyable trips we have taken. The crew knew where the fish were at and how to make the experience too notch.
Both of my boys caught inshore slams. This was our second trip with Captain Kelso. He delivered again.
Cpt John and Mark definitely put in the work to find us some good fishing! Were great and patient with my 11, 8, and 4 year old. Fishing was a little slow but fishing is fishing.
Thank you.
