Had a great time with David and Keith yesterday. Reds got Pickey. Had em all around us they just wouldn't chew but they got a few flounder and the biggest one they ever saw. Just over 6lbs.

We had a fantastic day fishing with Captain Cord. He found where the fish were hitting, was very friendly and took care of everything.

Great guide service. Knowledgeable and friendly. Keeps putting you where you at least have a good chance of putting one in the boat.

Drew was a phenomenal guide. Myself and a friend were able to smoke 3 redfish between us thanks to his tips. Drew was super patient and extremely knowledgeable. As a more novice fisherman, he was very good at teaching basic casting and presentation techniques with artificial lures. This was a great introduction to fishing from a vessel without the stress of a large multi-party charter. Worth every penny!

We had a fantastic time. Caught lots of fish and enjoyed talking to Jason. He put us on fish immediately and moved to another location if the fish stopped biting. Never had time to eat the snacks we brought. Will book with Jason the next time we go fishing
