Fantastic Day
5/5
Thoroughly enjoyed our morning with “The Reel Thing” fishing charter. Skipper Mark & his trusty deckhand Brandon gave us a terrific fishing day. We all went home with some perfect pink snapper & Flatheads. Would highly recommend this to everyone.

Went out fishing with Skipper Mark, he took us to a few spots. We got on to some snappers and some undersized flatheads
Great experience, would go out again.

Cool Trip
4/5
You might get a bit seasick if you go in rough weather, despite the heavy rocking fishing at the front, still managed to catch fish such as flathead. A pretty slow day, on the bite.
