Erin Magana5.0VerifiedFantastic Trip!!
3hr Trolling - 3:00 PM on September 22, 2026 • 6 adults • 4 childrenWe had such a great experience with Captain Jeff! He was very informative, laid-back, easy to get along with, and absolutely great with the kids. Weather cut our original trip short, and he was kind enough to reschedule us for the very next day so we could get back out there. He even filleted our fish for us afterward. We had a great time and would definitely recommend him. We’ll absolutely be back!

4 Hour Trolling on April 6, 2026 • 4 adultsHands down couldn't get any better, The Captain and his crew knew exactly what they were doing, put us on more fish than we could catch. Plus my girlfriend call a 22-in Spanish mackerel her first time off shore. Family-orientedabd just a really good crew. I'm 42 years old, and this is the best fishing trip I've ever been on!
