Nonstop Action — 32 Fish in 4 Hours with Captain Rick!”
4 Hour Trip - Nearshore on March 3, 2026 • 5 adults
We had an amazing fishing trip with Captain Rick and his first mate! In just 4 hours we caught 32 fish, and it was a great variety. The action was nonstop — we were catching fish so quickly that the crew barely had time to rebait the hooks before another one was on. Captain Rick and his first mate were fantastic — knowledgeable, friendly, and worked incredibly hard to keep us on the fish. Everything was smooth, organized, and fun from start to finish. This was hands down the best fishing charter we’ve taken, and we would absolutely recommend Captain Rick to anyone looking for a great day on the water. We’ll definitely be back!
