One of my favorite days on the sea
4 Hour Trip (PM) on August 3, 2024
I took my daughter and my bffs son(both 13) and little fishing experience. They have rated this trip a 2 trillion out of 5 stars! We had our original trip canceled due to weather but he got us in last minute and faced the windy weather for us! Weather can be tricky and the water was choppy! We were warned! And I’ll be honest… we had an absolute blast! The kids and I haven’t laughed that hard or smiled that much in a long time! He was attentive to the kids and extremely patient. We all caught a few fish, even me! We will be back again. Thanks for the amazing memories and an amazing trip!

Great time on the water
4 Hour Trip (PM) on May 17, 2025
We had a great time and captain T.C. was awesome. He had a variety of bait and knew all the spots to try. We caught some redfish, and got a few sheepshead nibbles. It was a great way to spend the afternoon.
