4 Hour Trip – Shared (PM)
From the moment we stepped aboard, the crew’s professionalism and enthusiasm set the tone for an unforgettable day. Captain and crew were exceptionally knowledgeable about the local waters, putting us on fish right from the first drop. Their expertise in reading tides, structure, and bait made all the difference—we had a great catch and consistent action throughout the trip. The boat was clean, well-equipped, and comfortable, with top-notch gear provided. Safety was clearly a priority, and every detail was handled with care. The crew went above and beyond to ensure everyone had a great time—sharing tips, helping with rigs, and even filleting our catch at the end. If you’re looking for a professional, fun, and productive fishing experience, this is the crew to book. Already planning our next trip! 🎣 Highly knowledgeable, friendly, and focused on results—couldn’t ask for more.
