Worst fishing trip ever with Chris!! 😡😡. He beat our backs so bad 2 of us are getting treatment for lower back pain—me at 73, and Robert at 41…hooked 3 fish—all broke off the leader at the tie…the high school boy had no experience as the mate , and got a treble hook deep in center of his thumb…we should be paid back our fee of $654!!! Had to ask him 4 times to slow down…and the advertised captain did not even work his own boat…Adam was out shooting gators as his gig!!! I have a good attorney at home—Mr. Jim Logan in Cleveland, TN… you will be hearing from him very soon!! Adam, this was false advertising…hope no one else falls for it!!!!!!!

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.
