My family and I had the absolute best time on the fishing charter with Captain Phil and Wayne. Most of us are novice fishers and the amount of fish we caught was mind blowing!  The crew was so friendly and helpful during our six hours of pure fun! I highly recommend!

Our entire family ages 8-69 had an wonderful experience!! We all caught plenty of fish and Captain Phil and mate Wayne were awesome!!!! It was a great way to enjoy time with the family and the work was left to the "experts"! Would do this again any day and highly recommend "Fish Magnet" and Capt. Gootee!!
