Jeff GiffordRepeat angler5.0Verified6 hour trip with derek
3/4 Day Trip on July 27, 2021 • 3 adultsGreat time. 3 50 year old fishers. Derek put us on snook right out of the gate. Had plenty of large bait and took us to a number of locations. Boat was large enough to fish very comfortably with 3 ppl. We fished with 5 captains this week and we rate Derek top dog!
