Conditions in the open Ocean were too rough. – Gavin took us into the estuary and we had a lot of fun – lots of fish – different varieties– he could not have been more helpful and we really appreciated his kindness and expertise.

On a very slow day for fish taking the bait we thought we going home empty handed, but captain Gavin tried one last shot at finding the right place and my son caught a beautiful Goldband Snapper!
