Captain Buck hat uns einen tollen Tag bereitet. Erst haben wir Baitfish gefangen, dann haben wir ca. 2 Stunden Bottomfishing gemacht und haben einige schöne Drills gehabt. Nach kurzem Trolling (ca. 1 Stunde) haben wir am Whole in the Rock mit Baitfish auf Thunfisch und Kingfish geangelt. Ingesamt haben wir einige schöne Fische gelandet und einige gute Drills gehabt. Es war ein schöner und vielseitiger Tag. Es hat viel Spass gemacht. Empehlenswert sind die längeren Touren. Das bietet mehr Möglichkeiten.
Thank you so much for the day we spent together
We had the most amazing half day fishing charter with Captain Bucko. We caught good sized snapper and loved cooking and eating the fresh fillets too! The fishing was lots of fun. Captain Bucko kept us entertained with his funny stories and jokes too. We have great memories that we will be talking about for many years to come. We highly recommend Captain Bucko and his fishing charter.
wow thank you so much greg it was great fun to have you and your family out for the day Merry Christmas and happy ny
Fantastic day out on the water! The captain was professional, friendly, and explained everything clearly, which made the whole experience easy and enjoyable. He took the time to teach us the techniques and made sure we felt confident throughout the trip. We had great action and an unforgettable experience.
Thank you for choosing me to take you on this voyage And thank you for teaching me some new Japanese language
Had the best day on the water in a long time. Couldn't give Bucko enough praise he was very responsive, easy to deal with and went tue extra effort to make the day great. Very knowledgeable captain and caught plenty of fish, when others around us seem to not be having the same luck.
Thank you Kane I had a great time out on the water with you today Your laughter every time we hooked up made me really happy to know I was doing a good job
Captain Bucko gave my boys a great time of their lives! The boys said fishing the live baits was already exciting…and catching so many giant snappers was simply surreal! We will be back captain Bucko. Thanks for the great fishing experience….and the fish banquet afterwards!!
