Frank was great. We hit the water early and saw a beautiful sunrise. We drift fished a few places and didn’t have any luck. He then found a spot with blues hitting the bait but we got skunked today. It was still a great day on the water. I highly recommend Frank.

Had a great time with Frank. We had 5 people on the boat and plenty of space. He takes you to the right spots and gets you on the fish!

My grand children (10 &13) had a fantastic time with Capn Frank and his able bodied assistant. On a challenging windy evening he created as the kids said a legendary trip. We caught sting ray, blue fish, speckled trout, dog shark and a 38 bull drum that gave my grand daughter an epic fight. We also lost another bull drum right at the boat. Thanks again for a wonderful trip
