Captain Lee and Nick were awesome! Took us out to sea about 10 miles from the shore and he certainly new where to find the fish. The five in our party caught 20 black sea bass! It was easy to find the boat and it was right by where you can pay to have the fished cleaned, which we did. They made sure the whole party was accommodated and everyone had an opportunity to cast their own line after the staff baited them. The price for a four hour excursion was reasonable for such a well maintained, comfortable and large boat. Great experience, would highly recommend the Miss Nell!
We are happy you had a good time. That's what we like to hear! We hope you will come back and fish with us again!
Capt Lee put us on the fish. We booked a 6 hour trip and caught our limit of Big Blues as well as some Spanish Mackeral. Jimbo was an awesome mate that never stopped working. Have to say Capt Lee had his nephew Landin on board and in training. He did an amazing job as well. He will be a great mate on a boat in a very short time. I couldn't have asked for a better day on the water with both my son's and my son in law.
Bubba, we are glad you had a good time with your family and caught some fish! Thanks for fishing with us!
Took my 4 son in laws on this excursion and had a great time. The weather that day limited us to stay along the shoreline but captain Lee and his first mate Jimbo made the experience memorable. Caught our share of fish even with the bad weather.
We really appreciate that and hope y’all come back to see us next year, Maybe we can get a little bit farther out if the weather allows.
The Captain and First Mate went out of their way to make it a memorable trip! Very good with kids. We are lookijg forward to another trip and would not consider booking with anyone else!
We really appreciate that and loved having such a relaxed crew that was just out there to have a good time, and that’s exactly what we did. Call us next year.
Such a great fishing trip! We caught plenty of fish, the kids had an absolute blast, and it was a fun experience for the whole family. The captain and mate were fantastic, friendly, helpful, and great with the kids. They made the trip easy and enjoyable from start to finish. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great day on the water!
Kevin, Your crew was the best! Thank you for fishing with us! We hope to get you on board again!
