Wonder experience!
4/5
My wife and I booked a 4 hr trip with the best captain, Captain Woody. He knew where the fish were. We caught several Drum one over the slot limit 28”. Caught a Stingray and a couple Flounder which we had to release. He said the fishing was slow and stayed out longer than expected. Loved the sound, water was calm. We were very blessed to have spent such a wonderful day!

Captain Ray knows fishing

Capt. Ray was very knowledgeable on where the fish were and helped guide our efforts to catching them. He made it easy for us and very enjoyable, too. We will definitely be fishing with Capt. Ray again and highly recommend his service.
