Ratings & Reviews Summary
May 24, 2025
Captain Mikey and his first mate were fantastic! We had a great time! My four year old wanted to be a big helper and they made him feel extra special and they were so patient with him. I wanted to catch a big fish after catching some small ones and they took us to an extra spot so I could reel in a big one! Thank you for a great time!

Our family had the best time! Captain Mike was so friendly and really knew what he was doing. He requested to switch our day because of weather to insure we caught some fish and we definitely did! I really appreciated that. Every time we lost a bait he was there to put a new one on. He was so patient with my youngest as well. We had a blast and I would definitely fish again with him!

Captain Michael was fun and engaging. He took us to a nice spot where we caught lots of fish. He also filleted the catches and recommended a shop that cooked it for us. It was a great time and the kids loved it. Would certainly recommend it.
