6 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM) on May 23, 20261 adult1 child

Last minute booking for my 11 year old son and myself to celebrate summer and good grades. Captain Derek not only help us good quality fish, he was great teaching my son and guiding him to his personal best 5lb speckled trout and a limit! Topped it off with a Bull Red. Recommend over and over. Will repeat!
