Wonderful experience! John and Tim are both excellent! We did the 4hr trip in the morning with the most perfect weather in mid-September. They handled everything – the fishing rods, the baits, helping you fish and reel it in and cleaning the catch however you wanted. Very friendly duo, felt very safe in their hands. Definitely will be a repeat customer and highly recommend!

This was hands down the best fishing trip I’ve ever been on. From start to finish, everything was smooth, fun, and unforgettable. The crew was knowledgeable and made sure we were comfortable the entire time. The equipment was top-notch, and we were taken to the perfect spots where the fish were biting nonstop. Everyone in our group had an amazing time, and the atmosphere was relaxed yet exciting. We caught more fish than we ever expected, and the memories made will last a lifetime. Highly recommend this trip.
