    Caught lots of fish

    8 Hr – Reef & Wrecks • 2 adults

    This is the 2nd trip with Captain Jim / Reel Therapy Charters. we caught our limit on snapper quickly and he asked if there was anything in particular we would like to catch, we thought barracuda would be fun to catch so he got the rods ready and we caught several barracuda’s before our trip ended. He did a great job on making sure we were happy with our outing. And once again, the music was awesome.

    Reported catch:
    Great Barracuda

    weather was against us

    6 Hr – Offshore Fishing • 3 adults • 1 child

    The captian did his best, but the weather was against us. We didn’t have the best day, but my son and husband had good times. My son did hook a shark which he hasn’t stopped talking about!
