We had a great time there was 9 of us. My two grand kids caught 6 fish between them we altogether caught 14 five different species. That evening we brought the fish to a restaurant and had a great dinner. Thanks again to captin Bob and mate Gabby.

My family thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The captain for the boat and the young man that helped them with catching the fish was wonderful and worked so hard to help everyone have an excellent time. We will definitely use this company again for fishing trips!

This was an excellent experience even on a choppy day. Captain Tom and our two deck hands did an amazing job helping the family keep their lines tight and baited. Plenty of fish for the day!
