    Great trip, good company, and an honesty that was refreshing.

    4 Hour Trip – Nearshore (PM) • 4 adults • 1 child

    We booked this trip at the last minute. As avid hunters and fishing enthusiasts, we knew the conditions weren’t ideal. A cold front was moving in, and the recent heavy rain had dropped the water temperatures, making for tough fishing. Even with those challenging conditions, our experienced guide went above and beyond. On the way out, he contacted several other guides already on the water to find out which areas were producing fish. Unfortunately, every report coming over the radio was the same—very little fish activity and no promising signs. Instead of wasting our time trolling from spot to spot with little chance of success, our captain was honest with us. Together, we made the decision to call it rather than spend hours chasing fish that simply weren’t there. We really appreciated his professionalism, integrity, and respect for our time. We’d much rather have a guide who is upfront and honest than one who keeps us on the water just to run out the clock. That kind of honesty is hard to find, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again when conditions are better.

    Thank you guys so much for booking with me. Do appreciate that which the fishermen was a little bit better. But it's been an on and off year to say the least. But I really do appreciate you guys coming out and fishing with us and giving us a chance. Thank you again

    A Must Do!

    3 Hour Trip – Sightseeing/Fishing • 3 adults

    The captian was so kind, helpful, and fun. He had so must knowledge about the area and marine life, his stories alone were worth the trip! My parents had a blast and the boat was smooth and comfortable. 10/10 can’t wait till next time! Thank you captain Pat
