    Great with kids, Cool Dude.

    Rob was great. i took my son and his friend, both 14. Even though we were dealing with about 20 knots of wind gust he put us on fish. Rob was great with the kids, showing them how to cast properly. i will definitely contact Rob next beach trip. I would highly recommend using him for you next chartered fishing trip. Thanks Rob.

    Great family time on the water!

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 4 adults • 2 children

    Captain Rob was a great host. He took care to make aure we all had fun, helped us catch fish. Although we didnt have any major hauls on this trip, we caught a total of 13 fish in a half day. Rob also took time to show the kiddos what was going in with explaining bait vs lures and the importance of patience.

    Morning Trip - Late Start • 2 adults

    I chose captain Rob based on reviews and he was one of the few that had a later start which worked great for our schedule. Captain Rob did not disappoint. He knew the water well and quickly put us on the fish. My son and I uad a great time. Would highly recommend using Captain Rob.

    Another Great Trip

    2 hr Evening Fun Fishing. • 4 adults

    This was the second year we have booked a 2-hr trip with Reel Fly. Just as last year, Captain Rob was friendly and helpful. We had a nice trip and caught a few fish, some that we had never seen before. I highly recommend booking Reel Fly.

    Response from Captain

    Was an overall good trip! Everything ran on time, Rob was friendly and helpful, and the kids caught fish, including a nice trout for my son that I'm sure he'll remember for many years! Would definitely recommend!
