We had an absolutely unforgettable trip, and I can’t recommend this captain highly enough.
We unknowingly booked our trip during one of the biggest fishing tournaments of the year. When we pulled into the docks at 6:00 AM, it was chaos—boats everywhere, trucks packed into every available space, and we had to park way out in the overflow lot. It could have easily been a stressful start, but our captain had already gone above and beyond before we even arrived. He got to the bait shop around 3:00 AM—hours before sunrise—to secure live bait before it sold out. By the time we got there, it was completely gone thanks to the tournament crowd. Because of his dedication and foresight, we were able to head out right on time without missing a beat.
Once we hit the water, the action started fast. Within the first hour, we were already reeling in fish, and the excitement just kept building from there. The captain never let up—constantly adjusting, moving us to the best spots, and doing whatever it took to keep us on the fish. You could tell he genuinely cared about making sure we had an incredible experience.
This was a guys’ trip, so there was plenty of laughter, joking, and friendly trash talk. By the third hour, the captain felt less like a guide and more like part of our crew—laughing along with us while still staying completely dialed in on finding fish. That balance of professionalism and personality made the trip even more memorable.
The boat itself was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, with plenty of seating so everyone could relax between catches. The music set a great vibe, and the cooler was fully stocked with cold drinks—water, Gatorade, Coke, and Dr Pepper—which was a huge plus out on the water.
From the early-morning preparation to the nonstop action and laid-back atmosphere, this was truly a first-class experience from start to finish. We’re already talking about our next trip and will absolutely be booking with him again—whether it’s another guys’ outing or bringing along family and friends.
