I loved fishing with this family .We did fish hard .... Maybe because of the weather the fish was just not responding as well as they should have….... It was wonderful conversations and we gave it our all..

Captain Kevin was great and so knowledgeable. We caught a variety of fish. Not a great day for keepers, but we had a blast. We will definitely call Captain Kevin the next time we visit SPI!

We got lucky & were able to book a last-minute trip with Capt Kevin Nicholls during the Memorial Day weekend. We set out at 7am for a day of successful fishing. My wife had never been Bay Fishing before & Capt Kevin was able to give her some pointers which resulted in her catching the biggest Speckled Trout of the day. Our conversation w/ Capt Kevin was also very enjoyable. We would highly recommend him for anyone looking for a good captain. We will call on him again. Scott & Dianna Mares
