Half Day Trip (AM)

Great Captain, Great Time!

VERIFIED

Ian was a stellar captain for our fishing adventure! He knows the area extremely well and made sure that we caught fish for fun and for food. He was happy to teach us all about what it takes to fish and how it all works. Also, we had some planning issues that could have caused some headaches but he was very flexible and accommodating to make sure we could really enjoy it all!

While we did not catch a lot of fish; it was definitely the weather not the Captain. We still had an excellent day on the water and cannot wait to do it again.

Perfect day with lots of fish and great location

Captain Ian was super. His boat was perfect for my son and I and we had a great day fishing. Pulled in lots of fish. Got to keep the largest ones to fill our limit. An added bonus were the wild horses on Carrot Island and the dolphin pods. I highly recommend Captain Ian.
