Poor Sarah…
4 Hour Trip–Inshore (7AM) on March 7, 20253 adults

Captain Chris was very knowledgeable of the area and put us on fish almost immediately. He was courteous and considerate of my two young adult daughters and made everyone feel at ease. We even got to eat our catch almost immediately at the restaurant where the dock is…Can’t go wrong with Captain. Chris Taylor….but poor Sarah…fishing is not her thing :-)

Reported catch:
Speckled Trout
