We had a wonderful time with Smiley’s Guide Service in Rockport.  Captain William was patient with our 5 year old and us as novice fishermen.

We do a company fishing trip every summer. Smiley was great. Conditions were tough and he still found a way to get us on some fish. Hoping I can book him again for this next year. This is my 6th year doing this with a different guide each time and he was the best one
