    Great Trip Great Captain

    3/4 Day Trip on June 19, 2026 • 2 adults

    On 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.

    Half Day Trip on July 29, 2026 • 2 adults

    We had a wonderful time fishing with Ryan. 7am-11am was our time slot. We troll fished and caught 20+ fish. We could'nt even keep half of them because we are on vacation in a hotel.

Great Quick Trip
2 hr evening trip on June 10, 20262 adults1 child

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.
