Captain Bob served 32 years in the USAF. You can almost always find him on the water. When he's not on the water, he spends his time with family. The discussion at dinner is usually about a new technique they saw on YouTube or how they can find a new spot for fishing. Captain Bob is USCG certified and is also certified in CPR and first aid. While he can't guarantee what fish the Sea Gods will make available the day of your trip. His number one priority is to give his customers the safest, most enjoyable experience he can. Stories you can talk about with friends and family later.

We had a great time with Bob and crew. We were catching fish but just not many keepers. It was still a lot of fun. We had one first timer with us and the crew did great taking their time with him. We will take them again when we come back to FWB

Had an amazing day showing m 13 year old son the ocean with captain Bob. We had some weather but he kept moving through the storms to get us on the fish. Can’t thank the crew enough for the experience I shared with my son.
