A productive Day on the water.
Half Day Trip (AM) on August 19, 20255 adults
We had an incredible day out on the water with Capt. Chad and can't recommend this charter enough. From the moment we stepped on the boat, Capt. Chad was extremely personable and made us feel right at home. His knowledge of the area and the fish we were targeting was top-notch — he had us on fish all morning! He was willing to teach and share his expertise. Whether we were asking about technique, tackle, or the local ecosystem, he was always happy to explain. It was clear he genuinely enjoys what he does. If you're looking for a fun, productive day of fishing with someone who truly knows their stuff, this is the charter to book. Tony, Matt, CJ, Cody

Captain Chad was very professional and patient with our group, all new to fishing. Stayed out on the water so we could catch one last fish! He knew exactly where to go to find the right fish. And the boat and equipment were clean and well maintained. Highly recommend!
