    We had the best time on our private fishing trip. 4 adults and two kids, lots of bites and pulled in a great haul. Captain Brian and Lucy were so great from the outset. Amazing playlist to set the mood then get the lines in the water. They both had us bating up and dropping lines constantly. Can’t say enough good things!!
