    Went shark fishing

    Inshore bay fishing • 2 adults

    So me and my wife went shark fishing, and he knew the best spots to catch bait fish, and put us on them and on some trout! We went in with the thought of not catching a single shark, but we caught 2 black tip sharks! We had amazing fun so we're ecstatic! This is the best birthday I had in a while definitely recommend!

    Reported catch:
    Blacktip Shark

    Great fishing time with Andy

    Half Day Trip – Bay (AM) • 3 adults • 2 children

    We had a great time fishing the bay with Andy.. It was at first experience on my grandsons at fishing in the bay Andy was fun and enjoyable, pointed out interesting facts about the area do you make a trip a lot of fun. The only thing that I could say that is not 100% positive if something every patient person would feel and understand it was just a chance the boys caught a lot of fish but they were not big enough to key and we were anticipating to feel our cooler when in reality we only got to bring home three but even at that it was a very enjoyable time and the boys ask if we could go back next year and use Andy again

    Reported catch:

    Red Snapper
    Day started off at 7am with a boat loaded with ice,bait and three guys that wanted to put the hammer down on some red snapper! First stop was good with 4 solid fish put in the box. Next stop we slammed them and loaded the box up with the boat limit. While cleaning up the boat and putting tackle away we had a nice cobia swim up and we tossed a bait out right in front of it and his ate it quickly! A fast hook set and we were on for a good fight.

    Andrew was great! Really nice guy. We set out to catch a shark and we did!. He had a plan and it worked. In the process, we caught other fish including speckled trout. Fun day, well worth it with Andrew. This trip was fresh off the heels of us using another guide who didn't make the trip quite as enjoyable as Andrew did. We won't need to try out other guides anymore, we found ours! Thanks Andrew!
