Doug was a great captain! Very patient courteous and knowledgeable about the surrounding water and area. My Daughter who is ten caught trout, grouper, Mackerel, rare red snapper and a snook. The day was a little windy but Doug was very proficient @ navigating the gulf stream waters. In summary I would definitely take my family on captain Dougs boat again..Thank s Captain. FISH ON!!!!!🐠
