    Half day trip!

    6 Hr – Jetty Channel on August 5, 2022 • 5 adults • 3 children

    Awesome experience all the way around. Captain asked what we wanted out of this trip and I said for my kids to catch some sharks and enough fish to eat for dinner. He nailed it! Couldn’t have been happier with the boat, equipment, and crew. Very knowledgeable and friendly both captain and first mate! We were successful at all the spots we went and were catching fish when others around us weren’t.
