Outstanding day of near shore fishing!
4 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore on August 19, 20254 adults
Gunner was our boat captain. He was top notch! During the fishing excursion he was very informative on local landmarks, the types of fish we were fishing for and the ones we landed. Took us to several locations. Caught a variety of local fish. Our family caught our limit and had a delicious evening meal. We will definitely be returning next year. Thanks for a great family fishing adventure Gunner!!!!

2 Hour Trip – Fish N Fun 10AM on December 22, 20253 adults
My cousin, son and I had a great time catching fish with Captain James. He was super knowledgeable about the areas to catch fish and just seemed like a good guy. We all had fun! We are planning to do it again but next time we will do 3 hours instead of 2.
