Best experience fishing by far!
6 Hour Charter on July 26, 20256 adults

Captain was extremely nice and friendly. He immediately made it very easy for us to get there and board the boat. Once we took off we were at the fishing spot in 25 min. Once the lures hit the water we started catching huge stripped bass! It was 5 of us guys and there was a perfect amount of space for us. We took home fish and caught another 20 that were big and had to release. Captain made it very easy for us catch and release. At the end of the trip he cleaned all the fish for us and bagged it. We got to drive around and see some beautiful scenery as well. I would 100% book again. Thanks Captain!

Captain Russ has it all figured out! He has handmade lures such that every 5 minutes there was a pull! We caught 7 fish!
