Birthday Fishing Trip for my 8yo Son

Full Day Trip5 adults3 children

The weather didn't cooperate and cut our trip short but not before we had a 44-in cobia and three Spanish mackerel in the box. The captain and the mate were awesome, great communicators, and went out of their way to make sure my boys had a great time. It was a complete and total success because the birthday boy really wanted to catch a Cobia and we checked that box early. the captain offered to take us out again for a morning to make up for the missed afternoon due to the weather, so I could not be more satisfied with the level of service. I highly recommend Backdraft Sportfishing.

    Great trip

    Half Day(AM) • 3 adults

    Great trip with my brother, who came down from Michigan to fish the Bay, and my daughter! Exceeded my expectations. Dalton and Wes went above and beyond to make sure we got on the Cobia. Lifelong memory for us.
