Best bay fishing trip we have done! Captain Gary made sure we all have fun. We caught trout, saw dolphins, and learned about the wildlife and the bay. There were five of us fishing and Captain Gary seemed to be everywhere at once, helping bait hooks, net fish, whatever! He was great and we can’t wait to go back fishing with him!
