Buz was firm with his expectations of the boys (10, 11 & 12) with regard to the safety, gave us a short brief on his boat (fire extinguishers, life jackets, the head, etc.) and we shoved off. I sat up front with Buz on the way out and he was more than happy to answer all my questions, show me the various navigation gauges, and share his knowledge as an ol salty captain. We pulled up to a couple of spots and dropped lines immediately, Max was very good with prepping the rigs and bait. We were on the fish quickly and when the action died down we pulled our lines and moved to the next spot. Very little if any downtime once we started fishing. Max and Buz did a great job of hooking fish when the action started to die down and when the had one on the line they handed the rod off to one of our boys to reel in. Buz clean our catch on our way back and once at the dock we settled up our tab and tipped $120 for the captain and deck hand to split up. Great time, Buz and Max were great with the boys, highly recommend this charter and if we're down again we'll go back out with Captain Buz on the Jawfly!!

Reece is very personable and knows where to go to catch the big game fish or whatever fish you are interested in catching! We caught several large Amber Jack. He then took us to an area to chum for shark. Within 10 minutes we had several Hammerheads going into a frenzy fighting over our live bait until one finally devoured the bait. My daughter had a great time reeling it in! A great family experience at a great price! If you are looking for a fun and affordable day out on the Ocean with a great captain, you can't go wrong with Reece! Book early! He is highly sought after for his experience and fulfilling his customers requests! Enjoy!!!
