Marc worked hard to keep us on fish. If the bite slowed down, he didn’t hesitate to move until we found action again. Solid trip and great effort all around.

Marc was awesome. He knew exactly where to go and what was biting. We caught Grouper and Sheepshead offshore, then Trout inshore. Total pro!
