Ken was wonderful. It felt like fishing with an old fishing buddy. Very personable, very friendly and laid back experience. Ken knows the area, and the best spots well. He was also very conciencious. Our family felt perfectly safe the entire time.

Trip: Let's Get Out There!
★★★★★
I had the best trip out with Captain Leb and his brother. As a VERY novice fisherman, I felt comfortable and at ease. They taught me so much and time just flew by. I cannot recommend this charter enough- they are kind, funny, and of course knowledgeable. Bonus: it was just me, a female, on the trip. Felt like I was fishing with two of my brothers. Can’t wait to get back down here.

Mark was a great guide. I’ve been on many charters but Mark definitely took things to a whole new level. He made sure we caught a fish and helped us the entire catch. Mark is very knowledgeable in his craft and I’ll definitely be returning to him in the near future.
