Beautiful morning on the water although a bit windy and cool. Captain Brad took us to all of the hotspots but the fish weren’t very cooperative. 3 Redfish were landed and a couple of others slipped the hook. Looking forward to trying again soon!

Great afternoon for a trip, though the fish didn’t feel like playing along. That said, Brad went out of his way to find the bite and the kids had a ball. Got the chance to see some of the sights around Cape Lookout on the way back in, too. Brad runs a great operation and I look forward to fishing with him again sometime. Highly recommend spending some time on the water with him.

Thanks Michael. Was a challenge for a bit with the tides being off. We adjusted some things and made it happen though. Thanks for booking and glad y’all had a great day on the water.

We had a great time! Things started a little slow, but then we were grabbing rods left and right. Captain Brad was jumping, he stayed on top of things well. We lost quite a few, but laded 4 and brought 2 top of slot redfish home for dinner. Great experience!

Thanks Paul, Definitely was a struggle to start with fish pushing away from us. Losing 14 + is always a pain on structure but I’ll do better next go around!!!!!

Great trip, I highly recommend Gunny B as a guide. It is a lot to filter out the noise of advertisements and all but I took a random shot with Brad and I am grateful I did. He got us on fish asap and we literally caught fish until we were tired. The two of us caught at least 20 fish each. 10 out of 5 stars.
