Capt Gary was great. A little bit of a slow start but it was a short 3hr trip during rainy season. All tackle provided, waters, good conversation. Capt tried a few different spots when the chosen spots didn’t pay. Got a few really nice redfish. One was 32+ inches. Definitely worth going with Capt Gary!
