loved it!
Both Mike and James made this very enjoyable. I haven’t fished on a boat in over a decade so it took me a while to get use to it again. They made it fun helped me and gave me good advice, overall had a great time. Thanks to Mike and James I was able to catch the my first sport fish in 10 years. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is interested in fishing. I look forward to the next opportunity to fish with them. Thanks captains James and Mike for a wonderful time fishing.
Captain James and First Mate Mike did a great job at putting us on the fish yesterday. We caught several Blues and Spanish Mackerel. We caught a few Cobia, but none big enough to put in the box. James and Mike definitely put in their best efforts to get us a keeper, but it just wasn’t our day. We will definitely go with them again if our travels bring us this way in the future!!!

When out on this boat for 8 hr trip on Fathers day for spade fish and other's fish that we might catch. The captain the mate was great. Didn’t catch those big spade fish that I wanted but did catch 15. Had the mate clean it for us when I got back to the dock and it was terrible. When I got home, several fillets had chunks of skins still on them and a lot of fish scales on them as well. Other than that, the trip was fun and that great time. Next time, I will fillet it myself.

We are sorry to hear that our fish cleaning wasn’t up to your standards , most people prefer we do not rinse the fillets in fresh water at the cleaning table due to the chemicals in tap water , so we clean and leave it for you to trim / rinse as you please at home
