The youngest guy in the picture of three was 81 years old. I hope I'm as blessed as they are to still be able to do what I love to do at their age.

★★★★★
Captain Steve was excellent. He moved our fishing location to get better results. He was on time, friendly and knowledgable. He was great with my 2 grandkids, 8 and 10. We didn't catch much edible fish but caught quite a few others - 5 species in total. I would recommend Captain Steve and would choose him again if the occasion arises.

Capt Hunter was great! He was prepped and ready to go for a 2 hr trip and we were immediately catching fish. We had 3 tween girls with us and he made it easy, enjoyable and educational. They had a blast and enjoyed their catch for dinner that night!
