    Great trip and biggest catch!

    3/4 Day Trip – Nearshore5 adults

    This trip wasn’t perfect due to some unforeseen circumstances but we still had a great trip! Capt. Caleb was awesome and very good with our special needs friend. He got us on some fish including a record 25 in trout and a 19 in trout. Wish more were biting but all 5 of us caught sone fish. Capt Jonathan called after our trip concluded to see how it was. We had booked for nesr shore but due to weather conditions, we had to do in shore fishing. I’ve been on at least a dozen charters but this was the first time a captain called us personally to make sure we got what we wanted and is willing to make sure we were happy. We are extremely happy, lucky to have found them, and we HIGHLY recommend you call Reel Smart Charters! Jax Ritchey

    Response from Captain

    Thank you, Jax, for the great review and recommendation! We appreciate your flexibility when the weather required us to switch from nearshore to inshore fishing. We’re glad we were able to put your group on some quality trout and make the trip enjoyable for everyone. It also means a lot to hear that our communication and follow-up stood out from your previous charter experiences. Thank you for choosing Reel Smart Charters. We enjoyed having your group aboard and look forward to fishing with you again soon!
