The trip turned out awesome! Captain Robert and Captain Jason who assisted for the day were awesome all the way around! Great experience for my Girlfriend and her daughter who have never been on a trip like this. We had a blast and put us on some great fighting fish. ...Read More

Was a great overall trip. The bite was kinda slow at first but quickly got good through out the trip. The captain definitely could put fish

The captain did a great job to make it a fun day. The weather didn’t help but he made it happened and caught some good fish. Trigger and two big unknown fish cut my line. Great job
