The fishing is great and well worth the price! Felt very comfortable with captain and crew the whole time.

Didn’t catch a single fish but it was a pretty slow day. Dane and Chris were a solid crew and great to work with. If you’ve got experience fishing and have gear to bring, I recommend bringing some lighter tackle gear to have a better chance against the yellowtail since the boat provided rigs are heavy bottom rigs and you’ll be fishing mostly patch reefs in relatively shallow water. Just my 2 cents.

Went fishing with Salty Goat yesterday and had a WONDERFUL time! The first mate Brian and Capt Dan went above and beyond to be sure we were all having a great experience. Will book with them from now on for sure! Thanks again for such a good time!

What a fun, memorable trip! Captain Dane and first mate Brian literally made the trip. Super helpful, funny, and knowledgeable + incredibly patient with my mom and I (haven’t fished in quite some time and needed a bit of help). My mom and I had an absolute blast! Highly, highly recommend! Looking forward to going back!!
