To achieve that, he supplies a hard working, experienced crew, the latest tackle, and a clean and well-maintained boat. Not only does he know where the fish are, he provides a friendly and professional service as well, all aboard one of the best charter boats in the area – the Billistic and Reelistc. He's joined by Capt. Jimmy Barton, an experienced and friendly captain. Depending on your trip, you'll get to experience a first-class fishing experience with either Jimmy or Justin, and will be treated to plenty of first-hand advice and knowledge.
