    STOP RIGHT HERE!

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 4 adults

    Sign up with Junior. Best guide and fishing trip I’ve been on (and I’ve been guided in Alaska, Colorado, Florida and other parts). It was me, two of my sons and my daughter-in-law. Captain Jr. kept us moving from spot to spot. I suspect he is a fish whisperer. With age comes wisdom. Junior had us laughing and smiling the whole time. AND CATCHING FISH!!!!!!! Rate him 12 out of 10.

    His Card Says “Fish Catching “

    Full Day Trip • 3 adults

    Junior’s card says “fish catching “ and that’s exactly what we did. I don’t think I’ve ever caught so many fish on one trip before. We will definitely use him again ❤️

    Response from Captain

    Great time!

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 3 adults • 1 child

    We loved our time with Captain Junior, he knew a ton about the bay and kept our hooks baited the entire time. He was great with our sleepy (somewhat cranky) four year old so we were very appreciative of him having us onboard! Highly recommend!

    Reported catch:
    Redfish
    Response from Captain

    thank you so much. I’m so glad y’all had a good time. It’s just early for some of the kiddos. this is Rhonda, the captains wife. , But i will definitely read this to him when he gets in from his second trip today. thank you so much and thank you for sharing the photos. I love them. 😊🌈
