The fellas and I had an awesome trip with Captain Rick! Caught a mess of fish, but by far the best were the Blacktip's! It was intense! Would definitely recommend, and cant wait to be back!

Our party of four had a really good time bay fishing with Rick. He’s a lot of fun and is very knowledgeable about the waters in the area. We caught a variety of fish which he cleaned and filleted for us. We’d love to take an offshore trip with him!
