    Fish caught, dolphins found

    4 Hour Trip – Ocean (AM) • 2 adults

    We started our fishing trip bright and early, but the weather was perfect. Captain T was very friendly and made us feel safe. We caught fish very quickly on our trip. However, the fish didn’t bite as much as before, which is unpredictable. Despite this, Captain T managed to help us catch 17 fish! We even spent some of our time looking for King Mackerel and spotting dolphins. My boyfriend and I would recommend Knot Wish’n Custom Charters to anyone looking for an exciting day on the ocean.

    Reported catch:
    Bluefish (Tailor)
    Spanish Mackerel
    Response from Captain

    Thank you so much for your business and the kind words. They’re both very much appreciated!

    Fishing with Todd

    3 Hour Trip – Rudee Inlet (PM) • 2 adults

    My sister who really hasn’t fished much caught 17 speckled trout on the captains rod, I used my fly rod and the fly that I choose caught around 60. Unfortunately they were under the slot limit so I couldn’t keep a few for diners, but Capt Todd put us in a hot spot

    Reported catch:
    Speckled Trout
    Response from Captain

    I guess 1 fish sandwich away from a 5 star rating….

    great inshore trip!

    4 Hour Trip – Ocean (AM) • 4 adults

    Capt was great, clearly knew what he was doing. got us all set up and once we got out there was great, ive had charters where the captain tries to lead conversation the entire time and wasnt a fan, Capt T was great, carried a good conversation but didnt try to push himself into a conversation, personally love that. Got two lines tangled up and he had us re rigged in minutes and back out thete catching more fish!!

    Reported catch:
    Spanish Mackerel
    Response from Captain

    Thanks Matt

    Can’t wait to book again!

    4 Hour Trip – Ocean (AM) • 3 adults • 1 child

    Captain T was great! He taught us a lot and let us do a lot of the work once we got the hang of it! I was a bit nervous bringing our 3 year old but it couldn’t have been a better experience. Captain T was very patient and made sure to include him and the boat was more than safe and suitable for younger children.

    Reported catch:
    Spanish Mackerel
    Bluefish (Tailor)
    Response from Captain

    So much fun having yall on the boat today. Thank you!

    It was a tough day for fishing. The water was churned up from a couple days of bad weather. Capt. Todd was able to get us on the spanish. Even had a shot at a couple of cobia we saw. Unfortunately we couldn't get them to hit. I would definitely recommend Capt. Todd.
