My family and I had an amazing time with Captain Shawn and Damon! We got on fish immediately, and whenever the action slowed, they quickly moved us to a better spot. It was a fantastic experience from start to finish!

What an amazing day on the water! Captain Sean and First Mate Nick were laid-back and great company. Nick kept our lines baited and ready, while Captain Sean put us right on the fish. We left with 4 pounds of fresh fillets!
