4 Hour – Reef Fishing (PM)
Captain Desman took myself, my wife and two young boys (ages 4 and 7) fishing. We had free easy parking at the dock and the boat was easy to find. The captain took us to a great spot where the boys were able to catch a ton of fish which kept them engaged. My youngest caught roughly 20 fish and a baby shark. He fished the entire time because they were right there to take the fish off the hook, and to add bait. We were at a great spot where the kids constant had bites/fish. He was great with the kids and helped teach them about the fish/shark and helped them hold the fish. My biggest goal was to catch a shark. He knew exactly what to do and we hooked 3 sharks and caught one of them and got it on the boat. Overall, the trip was a success and we definitely recommend.
