Captain Ryan is the Man! We took our 4 yr old grandson fishing for the first time and he had the time of his life thanks to Captain Ryan! Our grandson’s number one request was to catch a “shark” and Captain Ryan helped him catch “four” sharks! He was in fish heaven. Captain Ryan is wonderful with kids as well as adults. He makes fishing dreams come true. Whether you are a first time angler or an experienced fisherman he is able to adjust the adventure to meet your needs. Can’t wait for our next fishing trip with Captain Ryan!
