Captain Cody took my son and me out on a Friday morning. We caught a variety of fish including redfish, sheephead, flounder, speckled trout, black drum, and golden grouper (see photos).

My son and I are a couple of novices. Cody was super patient with us. He helped us bait hooks, get lines untangled, remove pesky hardheads, etc. without ever seeming frustrated with us. He cleaned our fish the way we wanted....

My son and I are a couple of novices. Cody was super patient with us. He helped us bait hooks, get lines untangled, remove pesky hardheads, etc. without ever seeming frustrated with us. He cleaned our fish the way we wanted.
He took the time to teach us several tricks for catching fish.

Overall it was a great experience and we plan to use him again in the future.

Sorry you had a bad experience with one of our captains, I go above and beyond to take care of my clients! I'm sorry this Captain did not and that's why he no longer is employed

Hi Matt - Since the original guide you selected was unavailable, we did our best to offer you an alternate option, but it sounds like that option came up short of your expectations. Due to the reduced duration, we did refund a portion of the trip cost to compensate. We'd love to get you back out on the water soon, so please reach out and we can set you up with some of our favorite...
