Our private trip was a reel deal (pun intended). In just four hours, we managed to catch 36 Grunt Fish and six Spanish Mackerel. I’m not saying we were fishing prodigies, but I did feel like Poseidon for a brief moment.

Highly recommend!

The crew? Oh, they were a hoot! With their witty banter and fishing wisdom, they made the experience feel like a day out with old friends. I learned more about fish than I...
