We booked our trip last minute but Captain Cheyne made this work for us and very accommodating to our schedule. We had a great time out on the boat with Captain Ryan and he managed to find us some awesome fish to catch although it was a bit slow in the beginning he found a good spot where we caught Sculpen, Bass and Sheephead. I can highly recommend these guys and would be happy to come back again for more fishing!
Thank you so much Sam, glad you enjoyed the experience!!!! Looking forward to the next one
My son and I had a great time on our 3 hour fishing trip with Ryan, our Captain. We caught 7 fish, but 2 were too little and had to go back, but we enjoyed some delicious Calico Bass tonight for dinner. What an awesome experience! Thanks!
Our family of five with kids aged 8, 11, and 14 all really enjoyed our fishing experience. we were fortunate to have lots of catches and the captain moved around to several spots to ensure we kept getting opportunities.
We had an amazing time on this fishing trip! The captain and his crew were fantastic—very knowledgeable, friendly, and just great people to spend the day with. The boat was perfect and equipped with everything you could possibly need. We also caught a lot of great fish! Highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for an awesome fishing experience.
