Fished with Capt Clay. Worked hard to put us on fish. Expert on the local waters and best spots. We all caught fish. Very chill vibe but still focused on our experience. Would not hesitate to book again.

Clay was awesome. He was very knowledgeable of the area and knew the spots the fish usually bite. We had a great time on the water and will definitely be using Clay again in the future. Highly recommend!
