Capt rich was very communicative with pick up and knew exactly where the fish were! Only took us about 3-4 hours to get a 6 man red limit. Great company too to have on board as a capt. Will be back for sure!

Capt. Rich is awesome! We stayed on the fish all day and had a ball sharing life experiences. I simply cannot overstate what a great time we had fishing with him.
