Our family had a fun trip out on the boat with Johnny (and Jackson).

It was a beautiful calm day and we dove several holes and sand/rock features til we found some dinner - brought home several lobster.

My boys and I had a great fishing trip with Johnny and Cody. Great guys; they worked hard to get us in the best spots to catch fish. Would definitely seek them out for another trip when back in Marathon.
