Great Company
Half Day Trip (PM) on December 30, 20253 adults

Captain BJ and Ian were an amazing crew! They were extremely pleasant and fun to be around! Not much luck with the fish biting due to the tide going out and choppy seas, but a great time regardless. I did catch a beatiful squirrel fish, and also hooked something huge but couldnt quite land it! Our family had a great time though and would go out again with this company and crew no doubt.
