Great Trip with Capt. Mike and Ford
6 Hour Trip (Apr–Nov) on August 6, 2021
Absolutely great day with Captain Mike and First Mate Ford. They were continually looking for places to find fish. We had a great day of blue fish, fluke and sea robins. I took my son (he is 6) on his first boat / ocean fishing trip. They made the day absolutely amazing for him! Would absolute recommend and will use him again. Thank you.
