    roosters crow guide service

    Half Day Trip • 3 adults

    I’ll start this review by saying we really, really appreciate captain Robert McCormick’s hospitality. hands down one of the most humble human beings i have ever met. you can truly tell that its not about money for him and its about providing an experience for his customers. i made a comment about never catching a flounder before and he made it a point to try his hardest to get me on a flounder. we caught several fish, two were keepers and the rest were under size. these guys cant control the bite, and they cant control where the fish are. for us, it was about the experience of a bay trip. we held great conversation’s and had many laughs on the trip with the captain. hes a local man that grew up fishing the bay. he showed us several areas that most wouldnt. thank you captain Robert McCormick for a great experience!

    Incredible day on the water.

    Half Day Trip (PM) • 3 adults

    Captain Robert was fantastic. We were novice fishermen from the Midwest with little experience with this fishery. Captain Robert took the time to explain the what's and why's of strategy for fishing these waters. He was patient and professional as he guided our trip. We caught 5 different species. Captain Robert was knowledgeable about the wildlife shared stories of past trips. All the equipment was in great shape, clean and worked better than we hoped. We will definitely book with Captain Robert for future trips.
