    Highly Recommend This Guide

    5 Hour Trip • 4 adults

    Jose is one of the best guides I have been with. we asked him to help put our grandson on a shark and he did that plus 2 stingrays, one of which was over 200 pound, as well as other fish after that. He was great with our grandson as well as us. Very friendly and professional.

    Reported catch:
    Black Drum
    Response from Captain
