4 Hour Trip on June 26, 2025 • 3 adults
We went on a 4 hour morning trip. Captain Jacob got out to the fishing grounds quickly and we were immediately on fish. We weren’t fishing for anything specific but got into a bunch of sharks. We caught hammerhead, lemon sharks, black fin sharks, and nurse sharks. Captain Jacob was very knowledgeable and friendly. He worked hard to keep us on the fish. I highly recommend Captain Jacob to anybody looking for a good trip. I will definitely be coming back for future trips.
