    We had a great time with Captain Wayne! He was super patient with my kids and took us to multiple spots despite the crummy incoming weather. He is a great guy, and we will fish with him again next time we vacation in the area. We would go again today if we could!

    Reported catch:
    Speckled Trout

    Half Day Trip With Captain Wayne

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 2 adults

    Bad day for fishing with both wind and rain. Wayne did an excellent job of getting use in some places where we still had a great day of fishing. He obviously knows the area.

    Reported catch:
    Redfish
