One of my favorites. Gentleman with autism catching one of his first fish! They didn't know how he'd react but I sensed he wanted to give it a go.

We had the best time fishing on Captain Chris’s boat. He made our experience special and put us on top of the fish. The boat and equipment was first class and Captain Chris was such a pleasure to be with.

I want to be honest in this review. we had booked a trip with Mike, and was informed a day before the trip that it would not be with Mike, but it would be with another captain. the trip was fine. it wasnt great. it wasnt bad. we had nearly a half hour boat ride to get to the spot he wanted to fish and a half hour boat ride to get back. so right there we lost 25% of our time to fish, only leaving 3 hours. we did not fish any other spots. stayed in one place. we caught about a half a dozen fish that we could keep and clean. there were 6 of us total. 3 dads and 3 boys. the price before any type of tip was $875. Naturally we left a tip bringing the total to $1000. it was a fine trip, but unfortunately, i have to say it was not worth $1000 to fish for three hours off of the Jetty's at shell island. We had a decent time, but it was a little under-whelming.

***** Captain Trey was very kind and knowledgeable - he went above and beyond to make sure our boys were able to catch some fish and have a good time - he had all of the equipment and we had a wonderful day on the water.

We actually went out with Chandler. He was awesome! He made sure we found the fish. We never sat at a spot too long without a bite. He was very patient with our children as well. We will definitely be back!
