Trip: Inshore Fishing Trip
★★★★★
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.

Captain Bobby was awesome!! We had some troubles dealing with the rip current but he was dedicated to getting us some dinner. His knowledge of the area is fantastic and his patience and enjoyment of watching my daughter catch a fish was amazing. He taught her and us alot!!

Captain Bobby was fantastic right from the start. Great personality. Extremely knowledgeable fisherman and Captain. He worked very hard to put me on fish. Weather conditions were not optimal but Captain Bobby wasn’t discouraged. We found fish and it was on! I highly recommend Captain Bobby and will definitely fish with him again in the future. Thank you Captain Bobby for the experience and memory.

Our families first near shore fishing trip was a great experience thanks to Captain Bobby. He put us on fish immediately and was very helpful to our children, teaching them how to catch the fish. Will definitely be doing it again.
