this is an excellent place to do a charter for fishing great captains great people all around good job

The charter operator canceled 1 days prior to the trip date. This is an automated posting.
Capt. John was in touch from the original booking. He called the week and day before for organizing and coordinating. They looked at the weather and adjusted our start time for an ideal experience. We had 2 kids under 7, my parents in their 60s and my husband and I and we all had an awesome time. Capt Aaron and Shane did great with all our questions and had some great stories! Capt. Aaron put in a lot of effort to hit the right spot so we could keep on the fish and did a great job filleting so we could good them up that night. Their little fish store onsite was also great for some souvenirs and last minute things to pick up. Thanks for a great time and experience! If we are ever back in the area, we will absolutely book again!
Wish we would have booked an all day trip with Captain Drew and first mate JP with Dreadknot Sport Fishing. Water was rough and they warned us it would be slow but still caught fish and was over top of them the whole trip.
