Captain did a great job adjusting when the bite slowed down and quickly put us on fish. We caught our limit in just 4 hours.

Booked a half day on short notice and in less than ideal weather. Boat was top of the line and safe. Local, Captain DJ, was knowledgeable and respectful. Variety of fish caught. Price was fair. Highly recommend.
