4 Hour Trip – Inshore fishing on June 8, 20242 adults

Ava was very knowledgable of the area, and very attentive with baiting hooks and helping with fish on the line. She provided first class customer service and overall she is such a great Captain. We had a great time fishing, and would highly recommend booking a trip with Ava. It’s so refreshing to see such young talent in the industry, and we will be supporting her endeavors again in the future.

Capt. Ava runs trips out of Crawfordville. These waters are known for Redfish and Trout and she will show you how to catch them, whether you're casting or gigging. With great knowledge of the area, she has a trick or two up her sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join her out on the water!
