Captain Jim and Scott are great guys! They ran a clean boat and worked hard to get us onto some fish. The fish could have been a little more cooperative but all in all it was a great day! I will definitely be booking again!

Had a great time. Yes, we caught a lot of fish, but it wouldn’t have been nearly as fun without the hospitality and company of captain Jim and Tommy. My brother and I highly recommend, and would love to book with them again.
