    We had a fantastic time with Captain Kody. The four of us went with two newbie fishermen and we caught a ton of redfish, black drum, and even some alligator gar. Our ice chest is full of fish for grilling, Kody was very patient and great to us and we visited some great spots. They will treat you right!
