Great 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!

Thanks Jeff! Had a blast with y’all!
Our family of four had a really enjoyable time with Captain Derek. We caught some really nice sized fish and enjoyed the ride in the boat. Captain Derek was very knowledgeable on the local fish and how to catch them. Highly recommend!

Excellent, from start to finish. On the fish.
Captain Derek did a good job of putting us on fish. He was very knowledgeable about the fish and the surrounding area. I would highly recommend booking with him.
An absolute awesome day with captain Derek
