Half Day Adventure Trip on November 27, 20252 adults1 child
Captain Frank is a great guy and guide! He took time away from his family on Thansgiving morning to take my son and I out. Had a great day and Frank worked tirelessy to find the fish and pur us in them. A lot of laughs and a lot of fish, even with a major temeprature drop that slowed the bite. Highly recommend and cant say enough good things!

Went out with my son for a nice fishing outing to see what we would catch.. Frank helped keep lines in the water that helped get fish on the hook. Eventually we all were catching and releasing.. Highly recommend!

My boys and I had an amazing time fishing with Captain Frank. We caught a ton of fish and even some keepers (first time for us). Can’t wait to go back out with him.
