Hi, My name is Capt. Cory. I have been in the outdoor industry since i was a child. I started guiding at 16 as well as working law enforcement. I now guide full time and love to show my clients to a good time and teach them how to read the water. Lets go get some rods bent and have a good day on the water.

Captain Corey was our hero and saved the day. So glad our first captain was a no show. We had the experience of a lifetime . Despite the wind conditions he was determined for us to catch some fish. We will definitely use Captain Corey for our next Charter.

Captain Cory is fantastic to fish with. He checked in well ahead of the trip to let me know what I needed to bring and see if I had any questions. He was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions on wade fishing. Of course he also put us on fish, and we caught trout and redfish which he even cleaned. Looking forward to going out with him again in the future.

I booked this trip for my husband and my son and I have to say we are very disappointed after spending $700 and neither caught a fish. We came, we saw, and we would not do it again!

Response from Cory:
I'm sorry you feel that way. Fishing is not just about catching. I try to teach and get all of my clients to enjoy the whole experience. That being said, they had opportunities the day of the trip and just were not able to capitalize on it and get the fish to the boat. I can't catch them all for you.

I can't catch them all for you. I worked hard for your husband and son and they hooked into a few
that we didn't land. I don't feel I deserve 1 star due to their inexperience. Again...im sorry you feel you didn't get what you paid for.

Response from Captain Experiences:
Hey there, we are very sorry to hear that this experience did not live up to your family's expectations. Captain Cory did his very best to help them land a some fish and provide instruction along the way. That being said, it's extremely frustrating to come up short. Please give our team a call; we would love to match your husband and son with another guide so they can try again!
