If you like the hunt, this is the experience you want. We did not catch fish but that was not the Captain’s fault. He put my 11 year old son on fish but we were just new to the technique. We will definitely do it again. Captian Gibson was very patient to show us proper technique and get into the shallows to chase reds. My son has been on other trips and caught a lot of fish and still said this was his favorite trip because he loved hunting and working to spot the fish. He’s hooked.
Clay is super professional as a fish guide an very out going and friendly guy which was important to me. He was also very responsible an safe as a boat captain I didn't question his boat driving skills for one min. This fishing trip would be great for all anglers but the more skilled will definitely have a advantage as you are trying to get there bait in the right spot at the right time.
Captain found the fish but the wind was bad.
We had alot of things against us in this trip. Super overcast, extremely windy, and high tide…but Captain Clay got us on fish! Right out of the gate we were on schools of reds. Poor casting in the wind made it difficult to put it where we needed but managed to land a few reds for the cooler. Clay was awesome and knew his stuff. Will for sure be back!
