I have been on multiple charters with multiple outfitters. Some good some not so good. Captain Xโs abilities, gear, and knowledge far exceeded previous quality trips. His rods, reels and tackle were all quality and meticulously rigged. The boat was clean, fast and comfortable. I had tried to book multiple charters on this vacation but high winds and poor weather was limiting other captains abilities and desire to attempt the trip. After two canceled trips with other captains I only had one day left on my vacation to fish. I contacted Capt X and he explained that April was usually a windy month and often challenging month but He was game to try to put me on some fish. He said if we were flexible in how we fished and were willing to put in the time, we would have a fair shot at some quality fish. Long story short I caught multiple trophy redfish one of which in the 46-47 inch, 30 pound range. I am so glad I found him and would recommend him to anyone looking for a quality inshore trip.
