My 9 year old daughter and I had a great time with captain Scott. He put us on the fish and was helpful and patient with both of us. This was our first salt water fishing trip, but it won’t be our last.

We took afternoon trip with Captain Scott and had so much fun! He was a saint to put up with some of us who could not cast our own lines. He was great with the kids and we caught tons of fish! I would definitely recommend Captain Scott.

Caught a variety of fish and had a great time with my wife, grandson and his girlfriend. Highly recommend Scott as a fishing guide. In fact, next week we are going out with our son, his wife, our granddaughter and her girlfriend with Scott.
