We had a fantastic time with the captain. My crew and I wanted a fishing trip to get away from our busy lives. We thought we were just going fishing. Instead we had a comprehensive tailored guide trip for plenty of fish to not only fill our freezers but a memory to last a lifetime. I cannot wait to go on the trip again. We started with rock fish then headed over to the sheepshead and other specials then ended with king cod fishing. I could tell the captain loved what he did and wanted us to have the best fishing experience, and boy we were not disappointed. I’ve been on many chartered trips from Alaska to Florida’s coast to overseas trips, but this one takes the cake. If you are hesitant about booking, call the captain and he will tailor a specific trip from the novice to the well experienced! Highly recommended and can’t wait to go again!!!
