Great for a family day of fishing! - Took my kids fishing (12,15,18), they don't have much fishing experience but Bradey was awesome and was very helpful, so much so that we limited out on Black Drum inside 90 minutes. He put us right on the fish and we all had a blast!

Father’s Day Fishing - Had a wonderful trip. Our guide Choppo was phenomenal. We enjoyed a great day on the boat on our father days excursion. They even had the option to fillet and cook the fish caught on site. Which we definitely chose which was a great option for lunch.
