Great trip with Captain Shannon! He found the big Redfish this morning. The boat was clean and ready to go as scheduled. I took home a limit of Redfish and released many more. I recommend this guide to anyone looking for a great time fishing!

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.
