Pam_M, Jun 2026

Fun times with a good vibe.

I highly recommend this experience. We were a group of 8. We were able to cluster together and share laughs while making memories. The crew was attentive with a good sense of humor as we jested with each other. Very affordable and they cleaned our catch. We were able to fish several spots and caught a variety of fish.
