    Captain Mike and James (deckhand) were very friendly and engaging. They did a great job of getting us out to locations where we caught fish species like Black Tip Shark, Jack Crevalle, and Bonito. James was extremely helpful with the fishing lines (baiting, casting, storing the fish, etc.). The boat is a nice boat and below deck was nice and cool if any of us wanted to cool off for a minute between catching. All in all, it was a great trip and we look forward to more trips in the future!

    Capt James was great. Knows his way around the water was able to bring us right to the fish everytime. Definitely would recommend. Can’t wait to come out again.

    Torren C. with James K. of Slidell, Louisiana

  • ★★★★★
    James is a true captain that has the fisherman in mind at all times. First he knows the area and is safe. He worked hard to get us on fish and we tried several areas before we were successful. He found the fish though and then we stayed to get some in the box. I have been on many fishing trips and James is at the top of my list. He is personable and cares about his clients. If your looking for a quality experienced Captain look no farther than James.

    Ralph R. with Brandon M. of Biloxi, Mississippi

  • ★★★★★
    The boat was nice. The captain was excellent. She was hard working and friendly. The only complaint I would have is the spot lock trolling motor did not work due to battery issues. As a result we spent a lot of time to set anchor every time we moved and she couldn’t get us to some spots like she wanted. I hope the boat owner will address this issue.

    Daniel S. with Tony M. of Biloxi, Mississippi

    Mackie is very knowledgeable about the lake and has great patience. Within minutes after stopping I had a 20" redfish and Eddie had one hooked in the front of the boat. While we were reeling in, Kenny started fighting a 28"er!!
