    Great Trip!

    Half Day Trip – Inshore • 2 adults • 1 child

    We had an excellent trip today with Captain Steven Woodbury—super knowledgeable, patient, and on the fish. We brought in bluefish, ladyfish, jack, a fluke, even a bonnethead shark and a catfish. He kept things fun and smooth all day. Highly recommend. And then, just when we thought the day was over, something big showed up. The one that got away, still out there.

    Reported catch:
    Jack Crevalle
    Flounder

    It was too windy to go outside so we stayed around inlets and islands and found some fun fishing. Caught a couple of excellent fish and some surprises. All fun! Captain Steve was great and kept our lines baited and moving along smoothly.
