Great day on the water with Captain Mark. We parked on top of sunken shrimp boat, caught 30+ trout, blue fish, whiting and baited some big hooks for local sharks. Had spinner sharks and a black tip pulled in near the boat. Giant turtle hung out on surface and watched us most of morning. Highly recommended
