Captain Craig was an excellent charter captain and put us on fish all day.  He also gave excellent recommendations on where to take the fish to have it prepared.   We also hired him to take our family to a sandbar and to take my younger kids fishing.  We had a ton of fun at a gorgeous sand bar where we spent several hours playing in the unbelievably beautiful area.  He then took us to a spot perfect for fishing with young children.  My eight year old son caught lots of fish and had the time of his life.  Thank you for a great time Capt. Craig!

Great folks, very knowledgeable and friendly. Do their best to make your day on the water memorable
