AM 4 hr – Inshore/Flats
We booked a 4 hr inshore trip with Cap’t. Billy. We caught fish at every stop. This was a first time for my partner and he caught multiple Snapper and trout, 2sharks, a jack and some catfish. I caught snook, a flounder, and yes, more catfish.we saw dolphin and manatees as well. Billy was good at managing time and making sure we were catching. He was pleasant and taught us a lot. The boat was perfect. Highly recommend Billy!

We informed Capt. Billy we wanted to catch a meal and identified a few species we were interested in catching. We caught our limit on Red Fish and a handful of Mangrove Snapper and Sea Trout. Very happy with the day and memories for all.
