Captain Pete was great! Great with my elderly dad and my 8 yo son.  First cast was “fish on” within seconds, and it got better from there!!

Went on captain Peter’s boat today with some friends and it was great, a lot of first time catches for me,king mackerel, mangrove snapper, grunts, grouper and sheep head.

If we come back to this part of Florida again next year, will book again. This Captain know his waters, highly recommend!
