6 Hour Trip – Nearshore

Everything was great with Gary. We checked a number of spots in the river and nearshore. We fished red fishes and yellow tails. A variety of techniques and bait. I just recommend some preliminary briefings ,to not american guests, about Florida’s rules in terms of catch and release in case of fishes too big or too small. Recommended experience.
