We had a wonderful fishing trip with Bryan. He was very knowledgeable and helped us immensely since we had little to no experience offshore fishing. We could feel that he cared about us catching a fish and that he was trying to fulfill. In the end, we caught 3 fish - 2 rainbow runners and 1 mutton snapper and lost 3 fish. We are super happy.
