We had a great time fishing with Shawn. It was a difficult day with high winds and steady rain. He was a consummate pro and put us on fish at a couple of different spots. We caught mostly redfish and sheepshead with some speckled trout. Having traveled for the trip, we appreciated his willingness to take us out.
