Captain Larry was fantastic! We had to move our trip up due to incoming weather, and even though conditions were rough with choppy water and strong winds, he still put us on the fish. We appreciated his effort and professionalism throughout the day. It was a fun trip, and we’d definitely recommend it to others.

July 1, 2025

The captain and his son took excellent care of my 10-year-old daughter, my two brothers-in-law, and me. They put us right on the fish, and we had an absolute blast. Their knowledge and patience were top-notch, especially with our group of first-timers. We couldn’t be more grateful for the experience and everything they did to make it a great day.

July 1, 2025

We caught fish and had a good trip, even though the bite was slow due to a cold front. Wished it was warmer, but still a solid experience. I’d recommend him to anyone!
