    We did a short trip (4 hours) so it was a struggle to find the right spot. In the last hour we finally hooked a shark.

    Adam was very accommodating to the type of fish i wanted to catch. They need a reliable source for live shrimp.

    The fishing was really slow, but you can’t blame Adam for that, we started on the jetty, just some mud cats then moved to shark fishing, caught one small shark then moved again to try our luck at Red Fish, got some bites, but no luck. caught one fish, but the weather was fantastic and the guide was super nice. I recommend this group.
