Despite our late start, Captain Josh generously extended our time on the boat as we exceeded our 4-hour limit. Sean, the first mate, was highly competent and made the trip engaging. The crew was fantastic, and the boat was fascinating. The family thoroughly enjoyed the trip.

Friday, October 14 wasn't the best day for fishing as the fish just weren't biting. However, Josh Brindley and his mate "Joe" were fantastic companions, ensuring our day was enjoyable. We wouldn't hesitate to go out with Shine Eye Girl Charters again!
