This was a birthday gift for my son who just turned 12.  I was a little worried because of my only experience at the same age many years ago.  My previous experience was on a large boat with a bunch of anglers where I caught zero fish.  This trip was just my son and I with Captain Ryan and his first mate.

First off, communication before the trip was perfect.  Every text was answered in minutes.  We learned so much during and after the trip just because Ryan and his mate were so good about sharing information about fishing with us.

Our first hour was a little slow with fish but this boat is always on the move and the last 2 hours we were catching a fish about every 10 minutes.  Because we were the last trip of the day, they offered extra time fishing which we accepted until my son was just too tired from fighting fish.

Ryan recommended we try the King Mackerel to eat.  His boat docks behind Grills Restaurant, so he can fillet it for you and you can take it into the restaurant for them to cook a minute later.  Our dinner was simply amazing.  Some of the best fish I’ve ever tasted.

Ryan is a native Floridian and is passionate about fishing.  He is great with teaching kids about fishing and showing them what to do.  We will definitely be doing a repeat trip.

Had a great time. Best catch was the two blacking tuna. One for me and one for the kid. We also caught a couple of Bonita and a kingfish. Great time.

Captain Chris put us on the fish 15 min on reef it was a great day

We had a great time. Thanks
