Family Trip
Booked a 4 hour trolling trip for sons birthday. Great communication with Captain Will as soon as trip was booked. He even called to say that he wouldn’t be able to do the trip personally and Captain Gary would take care of us. They arrived promptly at the pick up time and the boat was very clean and appeared to be well maintained. Captain Gary and Alex were outstanding during the trip. Alex was very entertaining and kept everyone engaged when we weren’t reeling in fish. His attention to detail was excellent. Captain Gary put us on fish almost immediately, didn’t catch anything huge but lots of fish and great time for my son 23 and 2 grandkids 4 and 8. They got to reel in several also. Everyone had a blast. Will book again with Gary and Alex when we come back to the area.

12hr Trip
Captain Will and his deckhand Zach really know what they are doing. They put us on the fish and we had a great day on the water. We went on a 12 hour trip that was worth the price of admission. Our goal was to catch fish that pulled back and put dinner on the table. Both goals more than accomplished.
