Fantastic Fishing Trip - Highly Recommend!
6 hr Morning Trip on July 17, 20266 adults

We had a great time fishing with Captain and his mate! They were both friendly, professional, and made the trip enjoyable from start to finish. The captain's experience really showed and we felt safe with him. While the boat was comfortable and stable, the toilet could have used some cleaning, but that didn't take away from an otherwise excellent experience. Overall, this was a fantastic fishing trip, and I would absolutely recommend this captain to friends and family. If you're looking for someone who knows where the fish are and provides a great experience on the water, you won't be disappointed.

Best trip ever!
6 HR Afternoon Trip on May 22, 20264 adults

My wife and I were visiting our daughter and her boyfriend and wanted to take them fishing out in the bay. The captain and crew were amazing and put us on fish right away. Caught LOTS of fish. Several times we had multiple people catching fish at the same time and often had 2 fish on the same pole! The next day after fishing, my daughter told me that her arms were sore from catching so many fish. It was one of the best fishing trips I've ever taken.
