They are eager to return for another outing. Despite challenging weather conditions, the captain handled everything admirably, earning strong recommendations and plans for future trips.
Another guest appreciated the patience and dedication of guide Andrew, who enthusiastically worked with their 10-year-old, teaching him fishing techniques. Although the trip ended without a catch—which was unusual for Andrew in two years—they were still able to observe fish and get a few bites. The guest suggested that Hurricane Ian might have impacted normal fishing patterns during their adventure.
