The captain was excellent, putting in a lot of effort to ensure a great experience for our family of five. Despite strong winds, he managed to find us fish. We're grateful for the wonderful time and will definitely recommend Captain Zach to others.

Amazing day out on the water with Captain Zack! Top of the line rods, reel, tackle, bait and even better hospitality. HIGHLY recommend booking a trip with him and I will definitely be back!

My wife and I had a great trip with Zack. Very knowledgeable of the bay system and put us on some targeted fish for my wife's online fishing tournament she was participating in.

October 8, 2025

My son and I had a fantastic time on our fishing trip. Even though it wasn’t ideal fishing weather with all the wind, we still were able to catch a lot of fish. Captain Shannon was not only incredibly knowledgeable and professional, but also had a great way of connecting with my teenage son. The captain was patient, encouraging, and made sure my son felt confident and involved in everything. Huge thanks to Captain Shannon for making it a memorable day on the water. It was clear that he genuinely enjoys sharing his love of fishing, and it made a big difference for us on my son’s birthday.

Very helpful and knowledgeable and a fantastic people person! Looking forward to the next trip

October 8, 2025

High winds, muddy water, tough conditions. We still caught a bunch of fish, several keepers. Fun trip.
