    CPT Logan is an awesome young man. We fish 6 or 7 holes. We landed at least 2 fish per stop. We caught Snook, Reds, Black Drum, Sheep's Head and Mangrove Snapper. We landed over 14 fish of 5 different species in less than 3 hrs. What a day. I'll definitely be back to fish w him again.

    These guys are Awsome!!! Captain Nick was so sick with Kidney Stones and you couldn’t tell. He still took us out, I felt so bad for him. He went straight to the E.R. after. We caught over 60 fish as soon as we put our line out we were pulling them in! Great guys, highly recommend!

    What an unforgettable experience!! We had so much fun and caught so many fish with Captain George- I’m also pretty sure he might actually be a fish whisperer! He was so personable and accommodating. We have fallen in love with this area and can’t wait to come back next year- and you can bet that we will definitely be booking another fishing trip! Thanks for the memories, Captain George!!
