Ross was an amazing guide and allowed us to experience the trip we wanted too. He knew we were set on hooking something big for the day and he took us out to some amazing areas and we got on 2 big amazing fish with some smaller catches. We intend on being repeat customer with Ross in the future and he truly made my sons birthday weekend one for the books. THANK YOU CAPTAIN ROSS...

Capt. Ross is a great guy and guide. We had a less than ideal weather pattern, but still caught keeper reds and puppy drum. It rained hard on us but he kept me on fish

Ron was on time and waiting in the water for us. He was personable and readily shared information about the waters and area. We tried about six locations trying to get on fish. Our target fish were too elusive this day. Enjoyed boating and being on the water .though.
