Ratings & Reviews Summary
April 4, 2025
Had a great day on the water! While we were hoping to hook some Cobia, it just wasn’t in the cards this time. However, we made up for it with a ton of Spanish Mackerel! The captain spotted a school of baitfish, and after casting into the frenzy, we managed to land a King Mackerel. Ended the trip with 30 pounds of fresh fillets—couldn’t ask for more. Thanks for an awesome time!
