Trip: 5 Hour Bottom Fishing & Trolling
★★★★★
My wife and I went out with Captain Bobby for a four-hour inshore fishing trip yesterday. We caught 5 or 7 keepers (Spanish Mackerel, a Pompano and a Blue Runner). However, the best part of our outing with Captain Bobby was being out on the water with a courteous, attentive and pleasantly conversational guide. My wife and I recommend Captain Bobby to anyone that interested in the "whole adventure" to choose Captain Bobby for their fishing outing.

The wind was a pain for him to deal with. He still got us out fishing and did a great job. He knew what and where to go to get us on fish. He did a great job and I recommended him to my friends that went out with him the next day.
