Had a great time on the Gulf with Captain Sammy put us right on the fish multiple times, we caught plenty of snapper and Spanish mackerel. Jackson the deckhand was super efficient and helped out greatly with the kids on board. The second hook in the water was
...Read More a tiger shark!! Captain Sammy asked if we wanted to fight it and we did so he whipped out all the necessary gear for us to hold on to the the shark for almost 2 hours. Five grown men and 5 boys were smiling ear to ear the whole time. Moms aren’t happy with the lack of photos (perhaps they should tag along next time), but the kids have a story they can tell for a lifetime!
Highly recommend Sammy and his crew! And as a bonus, he’s a pretty good DJ for the ride back in!
