We had a great trip! Caught 3 little bait fish, but it was a blast. Water really hot so fish weren’t hungry. Lord knows Captain Will tried his best for us to catch some. He even kept us out over an hour longer than scheduled. He was fun, friendly and showed us how to cast. He got hooks off rocks, oyster shells, and grass beds. He attended to our every need. When we go again, we will definitely call him!! He was the best!

I wanted to take some out of town friends fishing. It was their daughters first time fishing or even on a small boat. We had a wonderful day enjoying the beautiful sound, catching small fish and catching up. Captain Mike is so welcoming and informative about the area and fish we caught. He made sure little Elizabeth was comfortable and shaded. I will definitely do this again!

Captain Will gave our family a wonderful fishing experience. All the equipment and supplies were provided to make it a easy and fun fishing adventure for the whole family. We caught over 9 different kinds of fish and my kids were squealing with glee during the trip. I would highly recommend his services to anyone who is looking to fish in the area.
