Greg Halloran5.0VerifiedGreat Trip Great Captain
3/4 Day Trip on June 19, 2026 • 2 adultsOn a day when no other boats were catching anything, Captain Ryan took us on a fishing trip that turned out to be an absolute blast. His local knowledge proved invaluable, and he ensured that we had a fantastic time and caught some nice drum . I can’t wait for our next trip with him. If you’re looking for a fun and memorable fishing experience, I highly recommend Captain Ryan. He’s a wealth of knowledge and can answer any questions you may have.

Thank you guys again
We took our 6 year old on his first fishing charter and he had a blast. The weather turned in us before our trip so the fish werent biting great but Caltain Ryan still got us on a some fish for little man. He made the trip entertaining for us all. We got to see some dolphins and a pair of bald eagles as well. Next time we are here we will definitely be giving Captain Ryan a call.
