Both Mike and James made this very enjoyable. I haven’t fished on a boat in over a decade so it took me a while to get use to it again. They made it fun helped me and gave me good advice, overall had a great time. Thanks to Mike and James I was able to catch the my first sport fish in 10 years. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is interested in fishing. I look forward to the next opportunity to fish with them. Thanks captains James and Mike for a wonderful time fishing.

Captain James and First Mate Mike did an excellent job putting us on the fish yesterday. We caught several Blues and Spanish Mackerel, and although we hooked a few Cobia, none were big enough to keep. James and Mike gave their best efforts to help us land a keeper, but luck wasn't on our side this time. We'll definitely choose them again if our travels bring us back to this area!
