Great Trip with Captain Richard
Family Fishing Excursion on July 24, 20255 adults2 children
Had 7 guests which rules out a lot of other charters with smaller boats. Captain Richard's boat was awesome and spacious for our bigger group. We had a great trip out to the jetty and caught croakers and sea bass continuously, along with several bull redfish, some rays, and a bonnethead. Captain Richard is experienced and easygoing -- a great trip, highly recommend.
