    Families rave about the captains here, with names like Taylor, Jayson, Melissa, and Colby coming up repeatedly for their patience and skill with young kids. The 2-hour kids' trips seem especially popular, giving little ones just enough time on the water to catch multiple species without losing interest. Parents appreciate how the captains handle all the baiting and help children reel in their catches, making it genuinely stress-free for everyone involved. Experienced anglers are equally impressed. Multiple reviewers mention the captains' deep knowledge of local waters and ability to adapt when conditions aren't perfect. Taylor gets particular praise for professionalism and putting people on fish even in challenging weather. The bowfishing trips with Captain Melissa stand out as unique nighttime adventures with plenty of action. A couple of reviews mention disappointing experiences with weather cancellations and time spent catching bait rather than fishing, so it's worth having clear expectations about what your trip entails.

    Capt. Melissa was awesome. I shot an arrow through my first sting ray within 10 mins of leaving the dock. Can’t wait to do it again next year.
