UPDATE: Based on my past experience, I returned for two single day trips with Captain Louis. This time I brought my 83 year-old father-in-law and my 17 year old son along for a 'Three Generation Fishing Trip Of A Lifetime". Thanks to Louis, IT WAS!!! Both my son and father-in-law had never gone fishing for reds before. Louis showed them the ropes, gave me some pointers and PUT US ON TO FISH. We limited out BOTH DAYS before 10:30 a.m.! As - or more - importantly, Louis was a very good and patient teacher. He took great care of us. We all had a great time and Grandpa and Grandson will have memories for a lifetime. I hope that the three of us will be back next year. THANKS CAPTAIN! 9/28/17 - Captain Louis Thornton is super cool, laid back, friendly and most importantly KNOWS where to fish! We limited out on reds in 4 hours and traveled only a few minutes from the marina. Will be back again and again and highly recommend!
