Captain Derrick went above and beyond to keep us on top of the fish all day. He navigated us through rough seas and did everything possible to keep us comfortable. When the bite was slow, he made a great call to move us out elsewhere, and we had an insane last hour of fishing thanks to this decision. Most captains would’ve called it a day at that point.

Captain Derrik and Jay were amazing had a blast on the trip they were both very friendly and helpful highly recommend these guys
