We had a great charter with Captain Shad today. We did a 7:30a trip and it was everything we expected and more. Captain Shad went above and beyond to make our trip memorable, shared history of the area and was so personable! We had our 10 year old son with us and Captain Shad made sure to make this trip one he won't forget! We caught black drum, mackerel, toad fish, lizard fish and even a sting ray. We can't wait to get home and cook up our catch and plan our next trip!

My husband and I decided to book a trip based on the reviews and we are so glad we did. We had such an amazing time for our 25 year anniversary adventure. Going fishing can be a hit or miss with or without a guide but Captain Shad made the trip fun. Yes we caught fish but the memories we will never forget. Thanks Captain Shad and we will definitely be back!!!
