Our family of 6 (our adult kids and their girlfriend & boyfriend) all had a great time!  Action was pretty much non- stop from the time the first line was dropped in the water!  Great boat and both Captain Brandon and his first mate were Fantastic.  We enjoyed our catch that evening at a local restaurant and then also two days later when we cooked them up at home.  Great trip!

Captain Brandon and his First Mate Tyler were absolutely perfect guides. Extremely informative about the local fishery. They went out of their way to make sure we caught fish that we had never caught before. We have never experienced that with a guide before. The gear they used was excellent and the boat was in great condition. Most importantly they put us on fish! The rods were bent all day. All around an incredible experience. I would highly recommend this crew to any angler.
