Had a wonderful experience with Frank. Fished hard, took us to where the fish were. 30+ yrs showed in his knowledge and advice. We’ll be back and will book again.

I’m new to Florida but was fishing all my life in the west coast. Cap. Frank didn’t skip a beat in making me feel welcomed and guided me to cover the eastern waters. I’m definitely going to book this again.

Great time fishing, plenty of bait and plenty of big sharks. Had several triple hook ups. The boat was in exceptional shape and easily to maneuver around.
