    Best Family Fishing Trip!

    3 Hour Trip – Inshore on September 20, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

    My husband and I went out with our two boys (4yo and 6yo) with Captain Chris. We did a 3 hour in shore trip. It was perfect! Like no notes. Captain Chris was so great with our kids, and us as beginner fishermen. We learned so much and just had the best time. Highly recommend!

    First time without a catch

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore on July 6, 2026 • 6 adults • 2 children

    The captain was very engaging prior to the start of the trip, but it was the first trip in 4 years we didn’t catch anything, and we’ve gone out early July each year. After over two hours of broken lines and lost hooks, I finally spoke up and asked if we could try another location. As a local I understand high water temps can affect the success of a trip but 4 hours without any of us reeling in something was a big let down.
