We caught several fish and had a great time. Captain Brad was very helpful with our young daughter. We left with more than enough fish for dinner. I would recommend this trip to any group, and hope to be in town to do it again sometime.

We had a great time with Captain Brad. Our family came from Minnesota and wanted a different kind of fishing experience. The boys just wanted to catch fish and me and my daughter were there for the ride and if we caught something it was a bonus. Even if meant waking up way earlier than we like :) My son Parker was the winner by far. And the smile on his face made it worth every penny catching striped Bass and a red fish bigger than him. Would definitely recommend Brad over and over as your captain!

After booking, Captain Brad contacted us and asked a few questions about what we wanted out of the fishing trip, species of fish we wanted to target, etc. The day before the trip Captain Brad called us with detailed instructions on where and when to meet him. On the day of the trip Captain Brad was there before us, kindly waiting. He knew where all the good fishing spots were. He was a wealth of knowledge- educating us on the water’s ecosystem and what we were seeing. We had a blast! Definitely... More

overpriced for what you get. advertising snacks, water and other refreshments. if i didnt bring my son and i water and food we would not have anything. advertising cleaning of fish caught did not happen. good thing i had a bag or i would have carried the fish home. changed time from 230pm to 6 am. not prepared for trip.

sorry you felt this way, you should have said something. we made adjustments based on what the fish were doing and still caught some nice fish. I do not advertise snacks on the boat. I do have and keep plenty of Chilly Water on the boat. I communicated everything before the trip. I was 100% prepared for this trip just like all others. I also don’t included fish cleaning as there are no tables where we leave from on most trips.
