Great trip

3 Hour Trip – Kids Fun (PM)2 adults1 child

My daughter(6) and I booked a 3 hour kids trip with Mike and he made it a great time. Started with Mike knowing the fishing has been better in the mornings, he called and asked if we would be able to move our trip from 1:30pm to 7am. Moving the trip to 7am was great and within the first 15 minutes we had 4 fish in the box. We kept 5 for a meal and released the rest. Mike kept us on fish and made a couple moves to see if we could get on some more/bigger fish. Multiple times we doubled up on fish, Mike helped out my daughter and she had a great time reeling in the fish.

    Great Experience!

    4 Hour Trip (PM) • 2 adults

    We had an amazing time on our fishing charter! There were four of us, and everyone had a great experience from start to finish. The Captain was friendly, helpful, and clearly knew all the best spots—we were reeling in fish all day. We ended up catching a cooler full of fish which was icing on the cake. Everything was well-organized, and the atmosphere was relaxed and fun. Highly recommend this charter to anyone looking for a successful and enjoyable day on the water!

    This is the Charter to use!!!! Captain Mike is the best!

    5 Hour Trip (PM) • 3 adults • 1 child

    First Shot Charters is the Best! Captain Mike is a Master of his Craft. Going out for our First time on his 20ft boat was the perfect fit for me and my 2 sons. Captain Mike Skillfully navigated the waters, reading his Lowrance (FishFinder) screens like Neo from the Matrix. He landed us in great spots for an overall amazing fishing experience. He plays great music and answers any questions with an educational stance. We learned a lot and had the best time. First Shot Charters is the Way to go. Thanks Captain Mike!!!
