Awesome fishing with captain Ken If you don’t catch fish with him then nobody is catching them. He will put you on them and you will have a blast.

We had Jeremy and his wife this day. Ooooohh did we have a blast!!! The weather wasn't the best, 2.5 to 5' swells, windy, and some rain here and there.....but, that didn't mean we didn't catch any fish!!! Jeremy put us right on them!!!!! My family will remember this forever! The girls said they loved riding up front on the bean bags with the waves. The boys loved catching fish they have never caught before. Myself and Heidi got aome great pictures of us laughing in the rain on the boat ride back!!! We seriously had a great day!!!! We look forward to coming back and hopefully for a longer trip. 5 out of 5!!!!
