My wife and I hired Cpt Ryan after reviewing a few dozen guid services. I am not known for making the best of decisions but man, did we make the absolute perfect decision with hiring Cpt Ryan. The entire adventure was amazing!!! His knowledge of the areas to fish, how the fish move and the perfect gear to use was incredible. We are completely out of our element when it comes to salt water fishing and he had us fishing like we were seasoned pros fishing in FLW Redfish Championship Tournament. The best feature that I absolutely loved is that he is a teacher. He explained everything that we were doing and why we were doing it as we were doing it. It was like building a Lego house, one block at a time. I am retired military and my wife is a retired nurse and we both said that Cpt Ryan could had thought us everything about anything. I can not express how much fun my wife and I had and we would highly recommend that you choose Cpt Ryan for your next adventure. We had such a great time that we went out and bought a boat 2 weeks later. Best of luck and happy fishing!!!!
