Captain Richard provided an exceptional fishing experience! His expertise and passion for fishing were evident from the start. He knew all the best spots and techniques, ensuring we had plenty of opportunities to reel in some impressive catches. Beyond his skills, Captain Richard was incredibly friendly and patient, making the trip enjoyable for everyone, regardless of their experience level. The boat was well-maintained and equipped with everything we needed. I highly recommend Captain Richard for anyone looking for a top-notch fishing adventure!

Captain Richards
Half Day Trip (AM) on June 26, 20163 adults

I brought my nephew, who never went fishing and a friend on Sunday, June 26th. We met Captain Richards at 600 and by 630 we dropped our lines on calm water and a beautiful day. Each of us had plenty of action as we kept Captain Richards busy netting fish and taking care of our rigs. Needless to say, my 12 year old nephew caught the largest trout at 24 inches. We asked the Captain to bring us back to the dock at 100p as each of us caught plenty of fish. I highly recommend this trip!

Reported catch:
Speckled Trout
