It was awesome. Clay was very helpful and patient with our novice group. He made sure we were all successful fishermen by the end of the trip. He knows everything about fishing. He cleaned out catches at the end of the day and that night we ate what we caught. (Clay did not goin us for dinner unfortunately, haha). If you want to fish. Go with Captain Clay. He also brought delicious oranges for snacks.

Took my grand son fishing with Clay. Fishing was slow but he worked hard to find fish and we succeeded in landing some redfish, blue and other fish. Had a blast. I would use him again.

They did a good job, catching those few redfish, trying to get them out of the logs, is sometimes difficult. Thanks again.

We had a great time with Captain Clay. He was very knowledgeable and patient with our questions and lack of experience. He taught us the basics and took us to a great spot where we caught a dozen midsize fish!!! By the end of the 4 hr trip we had learned a lot. He also did a great job filleting the fish and shared recipes. I highly recommend Captain Clay!!!
