In-Shore Fishing trip (Intro 2hrs) - 3:00 PM
Captain Chris was fantastic! We had other plans, and we had to contact Chris about openings the night before we wanted to charter. He was very responsive and was able to accommodate us! We had three young boys, who had an absolute blast. We were able to catch a small shark on out last cast! We would highly recommend!
