Reel Mafia Fishing Charters 

Ooooh my goodness what an absolutely FUN day!!! I took my 10 year old son, Bryce out for his first time scalloping! We met Bobby at the dock at 8 AM! He was packed and ready to go. We just brought snacks and towels! As we got in the boat, he told us the drill. He got my son a life vest and told him til we get out there he needed to wear it. On the way out, we saw a shark, so cool. While in the water, we started scalloping about 4/5 foot of water. I was able to find some scallops, however my son was struggling. Bobby took it upon himself to bring us into shallow water so Bryce could really see the scallops! Absolutely perfect as Bryce could touch and was comfortable enough to get to the scallops and he was having such a great time! He’s like “Mom, I just caught a runner! “😂 those scallops do try to run away from you! Not only did he enjoy the scalloping but also the other sea creatures we found, which included a blue crab, sea urchins, conches, and the dreaded jelly fish! Bryce loved scalloping but I think his rare find, the blue crab, might have made his heart full! We didn’t keep it, but he was so glad he made me come over to look at it with him! Glad we brought water shoes and flippers because out there we found some sea urchins! Bryce got stung by a jelly fish. This happened while I was on the other side of the boat and I had no idea. Bobby was able to help get him out of the water and had a first aid kit right there. He was able to keep him in the boat with water and took care of him. I had no idea anything happened til I got to the boat! He was fine and calm! As a mom you want to be the one stung by the jellyfish, not your kid, however he was in great hands! We had our scallops shucked before we went in, there was a rain headed straight towards us. Bobby made sure we were good the entire time and was calm in all the situations. The trip started with a shark and ended with 3 dolphins! Couldn’t have asked for a better captain! If you want to take kids out, he is sooo patient and funny. He will make your kids comfortable too and check in to make sure everyone is taken care of! We ended up filling our 2 gallons of buckets, each, while I loved that I was more happy with the entire experience because I know my son will remember this trip for a lifetime! We will be booking again next year and can’t wait to continue making more fun memories during the summer! Thank you seems so minimal based on all the positive experiences we had today but thank you again!
