Enjoyable day out
5/5
Fishing was a little slow. It’s July. But the weather provided a beautiful morning and we had a great time overall. I learned a lot more than I expected about inshore fishing. locations, species, and how to catch. We did catch one keeper drum, a croaker, puffer, small sea bass, and a random lizard fish., A fun time we will definitely come back some time to fish with Captain Woody in the Fall.

Excellent Guide
5/5
Though finding the fish was a difficult task given the weather conditions, still our guide didn’t give up. He was one of the few guides on this day to put clients on fish. Excellent work! Highly recommended
