The price was great, fishing was outstanding, captain definitely knew the places to go. Boat was awesome too!

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.

Had a great trip with Captain Shawn. Limited on reds. He did a great job with my grandson making him feel like an up and coming fisherman, teaching and assisting him along the way. He is very knowledgeable,professional, and accommodating. Nice boat and equipment . We had an awesome trip. Can’t wait to do it again.
