So fun! Lots of fish were caught!

3 Hour Trip – Inshore Trolling (AM)7 adults2 children

We had so much fun on Kory’s boat with Dave! He was very helpful and handled all the fish that were caught! We counted I believe 28 Spanish Mackrel! Great expereince for us as a family for trying fishing on the sea! I would highly recommend them and we will book again when we come back! Great time over all!

    Great time with Captain Kory and crew

    4 Hour Trip – Trolling (AM) • 10 adults

    My group had a great experience with captain Kory and his crew. We did the 4hr trolling trip. Given that we had a large group and other activities to do that day we opted for the shorter trip. We were able to reel in a few mackerel. I'd recommend taking the longer offshore trip if you're looking to really bring in a catch. Overall a great experience and I would recommend for those looking to try their luck on a shorter excursion

    Reported Catch
    Spanish Mackerel

    Kept us on the fish!

    8 Hour – Bottom Fishing • 9 adults

    We had a big group (and lots of friends experienced folks). The captain kept us on the fish/made sure not to waste time fishing where they weren’t biting, and the deck hand hustled to get the fish off quickly and re-bait so we didn’t miss a beat catching more - or me right after another! Cabin was very nice and ac was good and cold. “Kitchen” sink to wash our hands and a bunk room so we could nap on the ride back. Deck was a little crowded for 9 folks, but the deck hand was quick to resolve any tangles (and bird nesting when we messed up the reels lol).

    Great Experience!

    4 Hour Trip – Trolling (AM) • 10 adults • 6 children

    We chose First Cast Charters based on the reviews, so I wanted to share our awesome experience as well. Captain Kory and first mate Scott took our group of 4 adults and 6 kids out for a 4 hour inshore trolling trip. We had a very successful trip, catching a total of 13 King Mackeral! First mate Scott was awesome. He was very informative and helpful, ensured the boat was clean throughout the trip (the boat was very clean upon us boarding as well), and answered all of our questions about the area and things to do.

    Reported Catch

    Great trip, very kid friendly

    3 Hour Trip – Inshore Trolling (AM) • 8 adults • 5 children

    Cpt. Korey and 1st mate were great with kids. We had 5 kids and 3 adults, everyone was able to land a fish. Make sure to bring proper cloths on cold /windy mornings. They were able put us on some fish ( Spanish makeral) even though the weather was cold. I would recommend them again. book early as they will fill up
