3/4 Day Fishing Charter Islands on September 9, 2026 • 6 adults • 3 childrenJohn worked hard to get us on fish today, and we loaded up with about 15 yellow fins. We even got a mahi at the end for fun. Had a few of my 12-year-sons friends along and they all are tired, sunburnt, and happy tonight from getting bites and reeling them in.
