Ratings & Reviews Summary
September 7, 2024
My wife, our 10-year-old and 8-year-old children, and I enjoyed a 4-hour morning excursion. We began by catching Spanish Mackerel. After landing 13 of them, we shifted our focus to pursuing Cobia. Although we spotted at least 12, they proved elusive and didn't take the bait. It's a good excuse for us to plan another trip!

Despite not catching any fish, it was a beautiful day spent out on the water. Captain Ryan made every effort to locate fish for us, but unfortunately, we didn't have any luck.
