Great trip!
4 Hour Trip on July 26, 20255 adults

Ken was great! Had us on the water on time and pulling up bait fish within 30 minutes. Ken put us on fish within a few minutes of arriving to the first fishing spot. We’re getting interrupted by shark activity so we decided to move on. Second and third spots were a little slower, but still had good action. Great trip, would recommend!
