Thank you so much Captain Steven. What a great experience with some knowledgeable kind. Great day of fishing. If you want to be put on fish this is your guy.

July 3, 2025

Captain Steve goes above and beyond in maintaining his equipment, exceeding expectations. His rods, reels, and boat showcase his dedication to his craft. While my personal reels are reliable, the ones on his boat are exceptionally smooth, as if brand new. When I inquired, he explained that he dismantles and cleans the reels after every trip. Now, that's what I call a truly committed captain. Bravo!
