Captain Dave took great care of us.ย  Fishing was as he said it would be and he worked hard to keep us on the fish.

March fishing trip

VERIFIED   2 Hour Trip - afternoon on March 25, 2023
The problem with 5 star ratings is my next reservation will likely be harder to get with Dave. There will be more next times
