My father and I had an amazing time with Captain Randy!! Very nice guy, super friendly and fun to fish with! He was very informative and knowledgeable about everything, and he taught us a lot! He knew right where the fish were and we had a heck of a time reeling them in with him! I am booking with him every time!

Captain Randy was knowledgeable, kind, patient, and fun! One of the young boys on the trip got seasick, and Captain Randy took it upon himself to help out! He was more than accommodating, and, bonus, we enjoyed a trout and red fish dinner with our fresh catches! Thanks for the sweet memories!
