    We went out with Captain Mike the day before the Fourth Of July 2023. The boat was clean and loaded with all the needed supplies. We had great weather and a fun experience. Captain Mike gave great instructions as my wife and I were fishing with our three boys ages 13, 8, & 5. Shane was a great deckhand, keeping rods baited and our fish iced. I would recommend Captain Mike to anyone looking to go out and have a fun day on the gulf catching snapper, beeliners, and other reef fish.
