We booked a full day bay fishing trip but the fishing was slow on that particular day. Captain Lane worked very hard to put us on fish but the bite was not happening. With some rough bay conditions and a heat index of 108 he decided to move offshore. He put us on some king mackerel which makes for some exiting fishing. We had a blast! Captain Lane never gave up and in my opinion went above and beyond our expectations. We will definitely book with him and Reef Donkey Charters in the future.

Captain Wilkin is awesome! He worked very hard to get us on some nice sea trout in really rough weather.  We had good success early.  When Mother Nature turned off the bite and the ladies on the boat thought that walking a remote beach looking for shells sounded better, the good Captain knew right where to go.  Great guy, good with the teenaged girls(and totally appropriate), and solid equipment, 
GO FOR IT!

Captain Wilkin was just the nicest guy & worked really really hard to try to get us some fish in the boat. Had booked a morning offshore trip but thanks to mother nature it ended up being an afternoon inshore trip for the 4 of us. Taught us how to cast / retrieve properly. We traveled all over the bay in search of fish but not a thing was biting - turned into a beautiful tour & captain went out of his way to interact with us while we were camping over at the state park.  Would definitely try again.

We booked this trip well in advance of the scheduled Tuesday, July 10, 2018 -8am appointment.  I sent a text and email to Capt. Wilkin, but got no response until I contacted him from the Cape Monday, July 9 about the meeting location and details for the next morning.  He told me in that call at noon Monday that he would call me back that evening to confirm details/location for the next morning.  When I had not heard from him by 9pm, I called him. He said ‘for some reason’ he thought I was booked for Wednesday, July 11 and apparently there was a double booking, asking me to move to Wednesday.  I was fortunately able to make the changes to our other excursions to accommodate the error (either caused by booking.com or Capt. Wilkin).
We were at the boat ramp at the the new scheduled time 8am Wednesday, July 11.  Capt. Wilkin texted me to say he was running late.  He showed at 8:45am, we were on the water at 9:10am.
We had a good trip, brought in 2 king mackerels, and our limit of 4 red snappers. We went out about 9 nautical miles and returned to the ramp at 12pm. We went to Capt. Wilkin’s home, two blocks from the boat ramp, for him to clean our catch.
This was our first experience trolling for fish. Our previous trip was more in/around the bay from the state park dock where we baited our own rods, throwing in our lines to catch our fish —a far more ‘hands on’ experience. Capt. Wilkin bailed and trolled with left handed reels, which made it difficult for us to reel in a bite because we are both right-handed.  On previous outings, we were asked our preference - left or right changed reels.
Capt. Wilkin turned up his radio to country music which was fine with my grandson, although I would have preferred conversation and perhaps him sharing his knowledge of the bay and fishing with us.
Even given the scheduling/change issue, the tardiness and the left-handed reel issue, we brought in a good catch with Capt. Wilkin.  We would gladly go out with him again if these issues could be addressed. He was very pleasant and kind to us and we will have a good fish fry thanks to his efforts.

Had a great time
