    5 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM) • 3 adults • 2 children

    Cpt. Peter is a experienced professional, knowing the place and the weather very well. Decent equipment and lures, powerfull boat, not a yacht indeed, but enough for a funny fishing day with the family.

    Reported catch:
    Yellowtail Amberjack

    Morning fishing with the boys

    5 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM) • 3 adults

    Peter and his crew mate “Brother” were friendly, helpful and great company. One of my sons got sea sick as we got to open sea so I chose to head back. Peter made the best of it by taking us to as many fishing spots in the bay where the boy felt better. I would recommend the trip and we will be back again. We had a good time!

    Response from Captain

    Thanks John a pity he got sick but glad the boys enjoyed themselves next time we will catch the big one
