Its Fishing!
4hr fishing trip on March 30, 2025
Captain 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 June 15, 2024
The trip was amazing! We were a little lost on a different set of docks (because we didn’t realize which Captain Anderson’s building we were docked by), and Captain Kota called to check on us and help us find our way. He was not impatient or irritated because we were a few minutes late. We had a blast, caught some nice fish, and I’d book with him again in a heartbeat.

3 hour bay fishing trip on June 14, 2024
We 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!
