We were on a beginners two hour trip.  Captain James met us on time and put us on some fish within the first 20 minutes.  Unfortunately the bite didn’t last.  We caught a total of 6 fish.  5 baitfish and one redfish. Nothing big enough to keep.  He tried three other spots to get us back on some fish, but it just didn’t happen. He even stayed out an extra 30 mins just to make every effort to get the kids some fish. 

This is a beginners trip, so we just casted out shrimp and the baitfish we caught.  We did not troll.  Captain James had plenty of rods and reels, which came in handy the few times we got hung up.  He baited the hooks and was willing to cast for us if needed.

All in all we had a good experience.  Captain James is excellent with the kids.  He was personable and very knowledgeable.
