Thank you Kim for booking with Hookers Charters! You both did a good job, That is a good size sheepshead here this time of year, bummed the big trout you caught got off the hook but you did a good job hooking it. Even some of the locals don’t catch two of those same fish the same day. You all did good, next time you come back we will hit a different and bigger species if you want to go off shore! Thank you Capt.Bill
