    Trip: 4 Hour PM Fishing Experience

  • ★★★★★
    Our fishing trip was just amazing!!! The entire experience was top notch. Patrick and Hank went above and beyond to make sure myself and my dad had an amazing time and that we hauled in some great fish. They knew all the hot spots and they knew how to get the mon the hooks. I can't say enough good things about Harry, his boat and his team. I would recommend this to everyone and this will be a trip that we will be doing with them often!
