Sunset trip with Shawn in Marathon FL
We had a blast fishing with Shawn on a 4 hour sunset trip. We caught about 35 fish of about 5 or 6 different types. Not to many keepers but we just had a blast fishing together as a family (and actually catching fish!). Shawn wasn't a stickler for time since he didn't have any appointments after us so we stayed out and watched an awesome sunset. Shawn splits his time between here in the keys (summers) and San Antonio TX, so give him a ring, he was able to book us same day (we called at lunch and was in the water by 3:45PM) Shawn book us again for next year, I will bring some beer this time!

Half Day with Captain Shawn
Went out with my dad on a last minute fishing 1/2 day with Captain Shawn. Lots of excitement and hit after hit, brining in several keepers and dozens of throw backs, including mangrove, yellowtail, shark, pufferfish, catfish, and hound fish. Highly recommend - an excellent experience and delicious grill up!

We had a great trip with Captain Shawn when we were visiting the keys last week. It was a rainy morning but we contacted him about an afternoon trip and he responded quickly and we went out on a 4 hour trip. Caught several mutton snapper, a few sharks, some yellowtail snapper, and grouper.
