Mike was outstanding, great job!! Our first area did not pan out, so Mike took us out to another. As far as we are concerned, we hit it big. Really knew the area. He will not disappoint.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses.
