Relaxing fishing trip

3 Hour - After Work Soak3 adults1 child

My family had such a great trip! There was great communication before and during our trip. Captain Mike was easy to talk to and had lots of great tips to help us catch fish. He was very patient with our son, even when the kid was asking thousands of questions about the boat. While my wife and son aren’t avid fishers, they both still caught multiple fish and enjoyed watching the sunset on the boat. We caught so many fish, we lost count! We would absolutely book with Captain Mike again!

Thanks Rob! You guys were great to fish with. Dylan was a lot of fun to "work" with. Best buoy spotter so far this season too! I'm glad you got a nice evening in, after the weather looked like it could have been raining. I look forward to having your family out again!

    Excellent trip!

    3 Hour - After Work Soak-Mil1stRes • 4 adults

    Captain Mike was very kind and personable. He reached out to me the moment I booked the trip and answered every question I had. He even refunded me some money because he saw my son was in the Military! Once we were n water, he did everything he could to ensure we each caught something. I would highly recommend Captain Mike!
