Our experience with Captain James was exceptional! He demonstrated remarkable knowledge, great patience, and was simply a wonderful person to spend the day with. If your goal is to catch fish, he is definitely the one to choose! We’re already looking forward to our next excursion.
James and Dave provided an unforgettable family fishing trip. They gave us the chance to target impressive trophies and, when the big ones weren’t biting, they put us on plentiful tilefish instead. We consistently caught fish for a few hours before returning to trolling for the larger game. Although we didn’t manage to catch a big tuna or marlin, James and Dave worked tirelessly to find us big fish, shared fascinating stories, ensured a scenic boat ride, and filled our cooler with plenty of fish. I would certainly go again.
