We had a fantastic day on the water with Captain Mike! I went fishing with two friends and our seven-year-old kids, and Mike was incredibly helpful and patient with the kids, making the experience a lot of fun. Despite the windy and rough conditions, we anchored on the reef and caught plenty of yellowtails, along with some other great bites. I highly recommend Captain Mike for an enjoyable fishing adventure!

Captain Mike was extremely accommodating and well-informed about which fish were active during this time of year. We managed to catch some yellowtail, although fishing was a bit slow due to the weather and temperature. He even offered to take us on a two-hour trip the next day after our half-day outing, showing his dedication to ensuring a great experience. I would definitely recommend him if you're near the Post Card Inn!
