    Great 1st fishing trip for kids!

    4 Hour Trip (AM) • 6 adults • 4 children

    We had a great day fishing with captain George! Our group consisted of two adults and 4 little fishmen, ranging in age from 8 to 13. George was great with teaching them technique and strategy for hooking up on flounder for these first timers. Our trip took us to some good spots just inshore form from the Indian River inlet. We had a great experience filled with memories that will last a lifetime. Also we greatly appreciated the surprise at the end of our trip with a stop to check captain Georges crab pots. Captain George was great with the kids taking time to share his experience and expertise on the water. Thanks again Captain George!

    Reported catch:
    Flounder
    Crab
    Black Seabass

    Always a great time!

    4 Hour Trip (PM) • 3 adults

    This was our 4th trip with Captain George and he did not let us down! He knows all the fishing hot spots and we were catching fish the whole time. My son had the time of his life when he pulled in a 30” Bluefish! George is busy the whole trip making sure all of our lines have bait, walking us through getting the fish in and he nets them immediately. We really enjoy our trips with Captain George and we’ll be booking again soon.

    Response from Captain

    Great Trip

    4 Hour Trip (AM) • 6 adults

    Captain George is very knowledgeable from his years of experience. Put us on the hot spot and we ended up with just under bushel culling at 5.5inches with MANY throwbacks. He even knows someone who can cook it for you. See you next time im down here Captai!

    Awesome trip

    4 Hour Trip (AM) • 4 adults • 2 children

    Captain George provided a wonderful family trip. We crabbed, fished, and clammed. Some captains tolerate kids, he provided a wonderful kid friendly trip and seemed to genuinely enjoy having kids aboard. I would highly recommend him for any charter trip, especially family trips!

    Reported catch:
