Great trip!!

Captain and Mate were awesome, a bit of fog and some swells but the boat handled it very well. They put us right on the fish, we caught plenty and were grilling one that same night! Couldn’t be happier with the experience and strongly recommend anyone who is serious about filling a cooler and a camera roll book!
