Captain Barry has fished the local waters for a long time and knows how important it is not just to put you on the fish, but to make your day fun, too. He has a great sense of humor and is very knowledgeable about the different fish species, techniques, and the local waters. He is also very good at transferring that knowledge onto his guests if they are interested in knowing more. So don't be shy, ask away and you will receive mind-blowing answers.

We caught a bunch of fish and the captain was great. Our previous booking got cancelled and it was a blessing in disguise. Captain Barry brought us to multiple locations where we caught a bunch of different species. It was a great experience.
