The trolling motor was remote controlled so he was able to allow us to fish out of the front or the back without someone in the way. We never touched the live shrimp. (He said there was no point in all of us getting smelly.) We never had a chance to get the fish off the hook. He was on the spot and had it taken care of before we could say anything. I hate fishing and had the time of my life! He kept in contact with other captains throughout the day so we always knew where the best fishing was. Very polite and such a people person. I can't wait to go back next summer! (Doesn't hurt the fish is amazing that you get to take home...and organic!)

The fishing guides are awesome. The cabins are nice, the nights are cool and breezy. Now for the bad... for dinner I ate the shrimp pasta Alfredo and my stomach got pissed! I became so bloated I was in pain. I don't know what happened but I couldn't sleep that night. The morning after we ate breakfast at 5:30 am eggs bacon and a biscuit with juice or coffee was not bad but not that impressive it was okay. The only thing I do have to say is where are the hammocks not one hammock ? This place would be awesome at night if they had hammocks Hanging from the structure stilts

They are friendly and easygoing. Weather and conditions are uncontrollable of course. Once we went when the weather was pretty bad and the guide was honest enough to say "I'll go if you want but it's gonna be a hard day of fishing in these conditions. We were only asked to pay for food and lodging that time. Oh- They also filet your catch for you at the end of your tour. The food they serve is amazing and the service is wonderful If you are an angler of any caliber this is right up your alley. They host businesses and have a "night boat" that goes out overnight- but I haven't done that.
