Our time with Captain Bobby was fantastic—we booked him for two days and caught plenty of fish while having a blast. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the waters and especially helpful to my son, assisting him in landing a massive 35-pound drum. I also managed a great catch, though I’m keeping that one under wraps! Captain Bobby truly made the trip special. It was a bucket list and birthday celebration for me, and he ensured we had an amazing, safe journey. I highly recommend him as your guide for any fishing excursion.
