VERIFIED Went fishing on Wednesday, February 21, 2018
I had a great day on the water! Brennan was very knowledgeable about his key fishing spots, he explained the points where the fish would be and explained bait placement for reds. We caught a decent amount of fish and a couple keepers. I definitely recommend booking a trip with Brennan. I’ll be booking a trip again for sure. Thanks Brennan!

VERIFIED Went fishing on Monday, July 3, 2017
Fishing was great!! Caught fish all day. The area was very nice and no other boats to deal with. If your looking to get back in the shallow waters and catch many different species of fish including nice Reds check this guy out. I will be rebooking for next year.
