We had a wonderful trip. Clay put us on the fish. Everyone caught multiple large fish. We were all active pulling in fish the whole time. Everyone was happy with the trip. I highly recommend Clay an experienced hard-working captain who provided my grandsons and their great grandfather with a very fun fishing trip.
