Lee Sharp5.0VerifiedCaptain Shannon worked great with my teenage son
Half Day Trip on May 2, 2025 • 2 adultsMy son and I had a fantastic time on our fishing trip. Even though it wasn’t ideal fishing weather with all the wind, we still were able to catch a lot of fish. Captain Shannon was not only incredibly knowledgeable and professional, but also had a great way of connecting with my teenage son. The captain was patient, encouraging, and made sure my son felt confident and involved in everything. Huge thanks to Captain Shannon for making it a memorable day on the water. It was clear that he genuinely enjoys sharing his love of fishing, and it made a big difference for us on my son’s birthday.
