The Capt was great, Great sense of humor,gave us lots of history of the area.
The boat was warm and comfy, the fishing equipment was great, BUT mother nature and the fish gods were against us, Not the captains fault he tried to put us on the fish but they did not want to be caught that day, but not for lack of trying on his part.. We will definitively book with him again. but will do summer when its warmer !
