Another outstanding day of fishing with Captain Craig
4 Hour Trip (AM) on May 8, 2024

We have fished inshore on numerous occasions for the past 5 years with Captain Craig and he is one best around. He is prompt, professional, has great bait, knows where the fish are and how to catch them. I highly recommend you giving him a call the next time you’re in the area and want to have a great fishing experience.

Reported catch:
Redfish
Snook
Speckled Trout
Jack Crevalle
