    Great captain and crew

    6 Hour Trip bottom fishing on June 17, 2026 • 9 adults • 1 child

    Very rough waves from tropical storm coming in had most our party sea sick. Crew was very understanding and helpful to push thru and still have solid haul of fish to take home. Crew helped and baited all younger kids fish.
