Another GREAT day on the water with Capt Fred yesterday! We caught 9 fish (not all keepers) and a young black tip shark. He is very knowledgeable and helpful/patient with inexperienced fisherman like me and my wife. Thank you again!

My wife and I had another great day on the water with Cpt. Fred yesterday. He was extremely patient, helpful, and knowledgeable as usual. We caught 10 fish (2 keepers which were delicious) and are looking forward to our next excursion with him.
