Whatever you do, do it aboard a modern boat with an experienced captain who puts your safety and enjoyment before everything else to make sure you head home with a huge smile as well as some delicious fish.

    Had a blast with my son - windy conditions but still caught fishn

    5 Hour Trip (AM) on April 18, 2025 • 4 adults • 2 children

    Capitan was great. Found him in FishingBooker after several unreturned direct WhatsApp messages to others. Super windy conditions (atypical for this season), but we wanted to go anyway. Stayed inshore and loaded up on hard fighting jacks and lost a couple roosters. Highly recommend and would use again.

    Guy knows the waters. Nice person and runs a tight ship for an in shore fishing trip. I recommend him and don’t write these often.
