Great day of fishing !
Half Day Trip (AM) on June 14, 20262 adults

Unfortunately we started the day with a down pour. But captain Bill was patient and communicative about waiting a few mins to see if the storm would pass. Luckily it did. We where able to get out on the water. Captain had us on fish right out the gate. We caught alot of fish. My son (14). He got the grand slam. Red fish , Snook and Trout. We caught 4 snook total, a red fish , a few Jack Crevale and trout, a lot a nice snapper , 2 sting rays , a shark , and a few catfish (unfortunately). Captain Bill was a pleasure to talk to , very patient and helpful. I would highly recommend using Captain Bill if your looking to catch fish and have a relaxing day fishing.

Reported catch:
Snook
Redfish
Speckled Trout
