About Your Trip

What’s the difference between a clearwater fishing guide & a charter captain? Anyone can go out and pass a test to get a Charter Captains' license.

He put us on fish despite of the fog because of his more than knowledgeable experience.

Captain Craig was awesome! It was a slower day for fish biting but he got me on 3 new fish species I’d never caught before.

Craig is very knowledgeable about the bay and where the fish are. We had a good time on our trip.
