Lots of catches
3 Hour Trip on May 13, 20262 adults

Captain Josh is the man, we went to about 3 spots it was a great day, every cast if not every other had a fish on, got some really good sized fish, even hooked on and almost got a shark. Absolutely worth the price, these guys know where to go and its a super fun experience overall. Made the trip to Florida worth it.
