8 Hour Trip – Jun/Aug
These guys do it…and do it RIGHT
If you’re looking for a charter, look no further. I booked with CB months in advance, and my day finally arrived. CB and his mate met us at the dock and welcomed us aboard. The had us on fish literally in less than 30 minutes after meeting them. I had two 14 year old boys fishing on big water for the first time and CB made them feel immediately at home. I’ve booked with other charters, but I’ve never had one make me and my family feel SO welcome. The mate, Brandon, is definitely Johnny on the spot. He kept bait on for us all the time and sometimes I’d try to beat him to rebaiting but he was ALWAYS there. CB has a fantastic thing going here. He knows where the fish are, he can put you on them, and he and his crew are just down to earth awesome guys. I will DEFINITELY be back!

4 Hour Trip – Trolling (AM)
Well worth it
To be very clear, you’re paying a charter to put you on the fish, given that fish don’t always bite it is important to keep in mind that even the best captains can’t always make it happen. I got a call the day before saying the fish had stopped eating around 9. He asked us to come in at 6 instead of 7 for our best chances and he was right. The captain knows the waters and the fish. We lost 3 good sized fish and landed 8 others in a matter of 4 hours. These guys deserve a 10 star review because they went above and beyond what was asked. I will be booking again.

8 Hour Trip

What a day on the water. I can’t thank Captain Craig and Deckhand Brandon enough for the hospitality and experience. We booked an 8hr trip which allowed time to experience some trolling as well as bottom fishing. This was a family trip for a birthday celebration which they made sure to focus on our son catching all he wanted plus some. As a business owner - being personable is a must in the service business, these guys knocked it out of the park! Catch ya next time Captain Craig and Brandon!!
