Caught many spotted seatrouts, ladyfishes, drum, mangrove snapper, catfish, and 34 inch snook. The Capt. kept four of us busy. When particular aera drop off he took to another spot. It was a very good experience. Will do it again with other family members.

Great morning out with Captain Donny. Captain Donny was great with my five year old and helped teach him how to cast and real in the fish. We caught about a dozen Spotted Seatrout and a Mackerel. Definitely recommend!

Captain Scott was fantastic. Put us right on some good magrove snappers, caught our fill and went over to snag some spotted seatrout, again putting us right on them. Great experience, Captain was great at sharing his knowledge and techniques. Would recommend 100%
