Shanin Frost5.0VerifiedIts Fishing!
4 Hour Fishing Trip on March 30, 2025 • 2 adultsCaptain Kota is a hard-workimg fisheman who takes you where the fish are biting! He also knows when to reachedule cuz of weather and will take you out when safe. Despite the slightly less than ideal conditions on try #2, we went out and made the best of it. Had fun and caught us some fish. Can't ask for more!

4 Hour Trip – Offshore on May 28, 2025 • 6 adults • 3 childrenCaptain Kota was great. 25ft boat was plenty of room for our crew of 6. 3 adults and 3 kids. Caught some Bonitas then went after a shark. Caught what was probably around 8-9ft hammerhead. Would recommend.
Hank Windle5.0VerifiedGreat time with a great Captain
3 Hour Bay Fishing Trip on June 14, 2024 • 6 adults • 2 childrenWe had a blast taking our boys out on the water for the first time. We didn't know what to expect but was excited for the adventure and once we met Captain Kota we knew it was gonna be great. We ended up catching a 4ft black tip shark while trolling and it's something we will never forget. Thanks Captain Kota we will definitely be back to see what we can hook up next!
Rick Gann5.0VerifiedSmall boat but big fun!
