    6 Hour Trip – Inshore on December 26, 2025 • 2 adults

    Nick took my daughter and myself fishing and had a great time. He had patience with my daughter taking time to coach her on casting techniques along with recognizing fish strike and how to play and land the fish. If you want a combination of patience and knowledge then Nick is your guy
