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
